Óscar de Muriel
“large black dogs can be a dark omen, did you know that? they foretell death, just like banshees do, and they follow you, and if you but look at them in the eye you are condemned.
still I´d rather see a dog when the time comes. the soft fur and the glassy eyes and the friendly bark of a playful hound, to take me gently to the realms of heaven.”
Oscar de Muriel, A Mask of Shadows

Denise Mina
“Insistent birds were chorusing and the sky was smeared pink and blue like Cinderella´s dress as they nodded off.”
Denise Mina, Resolution

Alice Hoffman
“all the same, there were some things they needed to learn:
do not drink milk after a thunderstorm, for it will certainly be sour.
always leave out seeds for the birds when the first snow falls.
wash your hair with rosemary.
drink lavender tea when you cannot sleep.
know that the only remedy for love is to love more.”
Alice Hoffman, The Rules of Magic

Neil Gaiman
“ask me, all mongrels are better than pedigree anything, said the woman. it´s why america is such an interesting country. filled with mongrels.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Colin Bateman
“and i especially don´t like talking to old people. i don´t like having to shout to be heard. i don´t like their turned milk and their soft biscuits. i don´t like their fishy cats and youth dew perfume that smells of mothballs. i don´t like that they grown every time they sit down or stand up., or how loud they have their tv and how much they complain about what´s on tv or how they boast about having their own teeth or why i should be interested in the fact that they can still spell when they´re 89 years old. i´m with the eskimos putting their useless grandparents on ice floes and waving goodbye. this may be monstrous slander on eskimos. it could just as easily be some other tribe with access to large bodies of ice, or just plain water, with crocodiles.”
Colin Bateman, Mystery Man
