“There follows a description of one lorry collapsing into the river. … While the energetic and able Burmese drivers and their assistants were busy clearing away the debris I walked up to the village to seek the help of the Akyiwa and his villagers …
…there was no going back. All worked cheerfully and with a will, Chinese, Indian, Kachin and Burmese. … From Shaduzup
onwards the forest grew incredibly thick, and consequently the track was not sufficiently recovered from the rain to make the rest of our journey an easy one … Captain Gribble”
Elizabeth Tebby Germaine, EXTRAORDINARY TRUE STORIES OF SURVIVAL IN BURMA WW2: tens of thousands fled to India from the Japanese Invasion in 1942

Raymond Chandler
“The faster I write the better my output. If I'm going slow, I'm in trouble. It means I'm pushing the words instead of being pulled by them.”
Raymond Chandler

“Fair enough, that's what most people look for to begin with, but money can be a sliding scale, the more you have, the more you want, the more you need,' McBlane said as he sharpened the ash on the tip of his cigar into a point against the rim of the ashtray. It gave him the appearance of wielding a dagger as he gestured with his cigar holding hand.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

“But understanding will always require some effort. You probably wouldn't admire a friend who was good at everything if it cost her no effort.”
Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World

Susanna Kaysen
“Nossas famílias. No entendimento geral, era por causa delas que estávamos ali. No entanto, elas não tinham a menor participação em nossa vida hospitalar. Ficávamos na dúvida: também estaríamos assim ausentes da vida delas, lá fora?
Os lunáticos são como os rebatedores escalados em uma partida de beisebol. Muitas vezes, a família toda é louca, mas, como não se pode mandar uma família inteira para o hospício, um de seus membros é declarado louco e internado. Aí, dependendo da reação do resto da família, essa pessoa permanece internada ou é liberada, de forma que ateste alguma coisa sobre a saúde mental familiar.
A maioria das famílias declarava a mesma tese: não somos loucos; ela é que é. Essas famílias continuavam a pagar.
Outras famílias, porém, tinham de provar que ninguém era louco, e eram essas que ameaçavam parar de pagar.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
