Kirsten Fullmer
“She gripped the wheel and squared her shoulders. She didn’t have to do any of this alone. All she had to do was notify the society and put out an All Points Bulletin on Adam and she’d know everything there was to know about the man within 24 hours.”
― Kirsten Fullmer

Mark M. Bello
“Never discount woman’s intuition Zack. That is real.”
“I never discount a woman’s anything, dear. The world would be a better place if woman were in charge.”
― Mark M. Bello, Betrayal In Blue

Erik Larson
“For now, the tension was subtle, a vibration, like the inaudible cry of overstressed steel.”
― Erik Larson, The Devil in the White City

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett

“Whenever I felt like that, I would have a chat with my own Fat Mary. She was like the sweet fresh air after the rain. She brought me newness, clarity, and relief. She managed to get in touch with and resurrect the free spirit deep inside me. Being one with the spirit allowed me to soar above my everyday reality. I marveled at the beauty of all life and savored the power and possibilities of my imagination.”
― Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child
