Lawrence Nault
“The greater good’ is the cream cheese icing on a crap cake — spread thick by those wielding the spatula as a weapon to hide the stench beneath. Many will take a bite, only realizing too late what they’re being fed.”
― Lawrence Nault

Isabel van Loen
“His hand leaves the back of the seat. He places it, instead, flat on my thigh. He looks at me, not at the men.
“That’s enough.”
I feel my cheeks flush. I set my glass down.
Then he turns to the table—composed, gracious.
“Gentlemen, don’t encourage her,” he says, his tone lighter.”
― Isabel van Loen, Lowered Lashes
