Barbara W. Tuchman
“Nevertheless, Schlieffen decided, in the event of war, to attack France by way of Belgium.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, The Guns of August

Sara Pascoe
“We think that the word 'boy' or the the word 'girl' says something about who a person is, who they will be. But that difference is much less dictated by the body they're born in than created by what we expect of them and how we treat each other.”
Sara Pascoe

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“It was as if we played chess after denying me both bishops and knights.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Death Leaves a Shadow

“What do you think I do?” And frisky too.
“A model?” She shrugs. “An actor?”
“No,” I say. “Flattering, but no.”
“Well?”
“I’m into, oh, murders and executions mostly. It depends.” I shrug.
“Do you like it?” she asks, unfazed.
“Um… It depends. Why?” I take a bit of sorbet.
“Well, most guys I know who work in mergers and acquisitions don’t really like it,” she says.
“That’s not what I said,” I say, adding a forced smiled, finishing my J&B. “Oh, forget it.”
Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho

Jeannette Walls
“On our way back from the candy store, Brian and I liked to spy on the Green Lantern—a big dark green house with a sagging porch right near the highway. Mom said it was a cathouse, but I never saw any cats there, only women wearing bathing suits or short dresses who sat or lay out on the porch, waving at the cars that drove by. There were Christmas lights over the door all year round, and Mom said that was how you could tell it was a cathouse.”
Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle
