‘Right,’ I said. ‘Tell that to your coppers next time they shoot down some scared petty larceny crook running away up an alley with a stolen spare.’

Jeff Vandermeer
“Can you really imagine what it was like in those first moments, peering down into that dark space, and seeing that? Perhaps you can. Perhaps you’re staring at it now.”
Jeff VanderMeer, The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation / Authority / Acceptance

Raymond Chandler
“Right,’ I said. ‘Tell that to your coppers next time they shoot down some scared petty larceny crook running away up an alley with a stolen spare.”
Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

Stephen  King
“The angel of Death who holdeth The bronze Lamp beyond the golden door Hath taken thee into dark Waters”
Stephen King, 'Salem's Lot

Helen Macdonald
“I thought of one of these moments as I sat there waiting for the hawk to eat from my hand. It was a black-and-white photograph my father had taken many years ago of an elderly street-cleaner with a white goatee beard, wrinkled socks and down-at-heel shoes. Crumpled work trousers, work gloves, a woollen beret. The camera is low, on the pavement: Dad must have crouched in the road to take it. The man is bending down, his besom of birch twigs propped against his side. He has taken off one of his gloves, and between the thumb and first finger of his bare right hand he is offering a crumb of bread to a sparrow on the kerbstone. The sparrow is caught mid-hop at exactly the moment it takes the crumb from his fingers. And the expression on the man’s face is suffused with joy. He is wearing the face of an angel.”
Helen Macdonald, H is for Hawk

Leigh Bardugo
“Magic was transgression, the blurring of the line between the impossible and the possible. There was something about crossing that boundary that seemed to shake loose all the morals and taboos people took for granted. When anything was within your grasp, it got harder and harder to remember why you shouldn’t take it—money, power, your dream job, your dream fuck, a life.”
Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent
