K.  Ritz
“Whither be the heart of Justice?
            Lo, in stone, child. Lo, in stone.
            Whither be the heart of Justice?
            Lo, tis fast in stone.”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Stephen Crane
“The lieutenant of the youth's company was shot in the hand. He began to swear so wondrously that a nervous laugh went along the regimental line. The officer's profanity sounded conventional. It relieved the tightened senses of the new men. It was as if he had hit his fingers with a tack hammer at home.”
Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage

“Little Engine That Could - "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I know I can.”
Watty Piper, The Little Engine That Could

Rebecca Harlem
“Fame to an artist is like light to a vampire.”
Rebecca Harlem, The Pink Cadillac

Shirley Jackson
“They do say," Mr. Adams said to Old Man Warner, who stood next to him, "that over in 
the north village they're talking of giving up the lottery."

Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live hat way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery, he added petulantly. "Bad 
enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody."
"Some places have already quit lotteries." Mrs. Adams said.
"Nothing but trouble in that," Old Man Warner said stoutly. "Pack of young fools.”
Shirley Jackson, The Lottery
