Fabian’s Quotes

“If there was one thing a former sniper could do well, it was wait. Patiently. Quietly. Without a sound. Barely a movement. Just him, a quiet mind and his breath.”

“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Ito finally, who had been keeping very quiet up to this point. “Indeed. How much will it cost?” asked Brown “About twenty million Interplanetary Credits,” said Demba. “A modest investment for a man of your means.” “Indeed,” said Brown again. That was all the money he had, which started to strike him as strange, when his thoughts were interrupted. “We’ll arrange a visit to the mine,” said Ito. “Show you the place itself.” “Indeed,” said Brown. Or had he said that? The strange waking memory he had fallen into started to become repetitive. Reality started to flow back in. Diamonds, thought Brown. All those diamonds in that mine.”
― Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

“There was no going back now. Rubber and metal could only take so much. The car could shatter and send its passengers into an elemental distillation of rock, flesh, blood, and ash. Alchemy, thought Mary, grimly. Too much bloody alchemy.”
― Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

“We do not know, we do not know. We shall live from day to day, and put more locks on the doors, and get a fine fierce dog when the fine fierce bitch next door has pups, and hold on to our handbags more tenaciously; and the beauty of the trees by night, and the raptures of lovers under the stars, these things we shall forego. We shall forego the coming home drunken through the midnight streets, and the evening walk over the star-lit veld. We shall be careful, and knock this off our lives, and knock that off our lives, and hedge ourselves about with safety and precaution. And our lives will shrink, but they shall be the lives of superior beings; and we shall live with fear, but at least it will not be a fear of the unknown. And the conscience shall be thrust down; the light of life shall not be extinguished, but be put under a bushel, to be preserved for a generation that will live by it again, in some day not yet come; and how it will come, and when it will come, we shall not think about at all.”
― Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country
