Amitav Ghosh
“How was it that no one had ever told her that it was not love itself, but its treacherous gatekeepers which made the greatest demands on your courage: the panic of acknowledging it; the terror of declaring it; the fear of being rebuffed? Why had no one told her that love's twin was not hate but cowardice?”
Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies

David Sedaris
“On a busy day twenty-two thousand people come to visit Santa, and I was told that it is an elf's lot to remain merry in the face of torment and adversity. I promised to keep that in mind.”
david sedaris

Amitav Ghosh
“The truth is, sir, that men do what their power permits them to do. We are no different from the Pharaohs or the Mongols: the difference is only that when we kill people we feel compelled to pretend that it is for some higher cause. It is this pretence of virtue, I promise you, that will never be forgiven by history.”
Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Two things cannot be in one place. Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett

Isabel Allende
“The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.”
Isabel Allende
