“The best writers tend to look the roughest in photos. At least that's the excuse I use for why I look so bad in mine.”
R.D. Ronald

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
“He lay down on his pallet and drew the fawn down beside him. He often lay so with it in the shed, or under the live oaks in the heat of the day. He lay with his head against its side. its ribs lifted and fell with its breathing. It rested its chin on his hand. It had a few short hairs there that prickled him. He had been cudgeling his wits for an excuse to bring the fawn inside at night to sleep with him, and now he had one that could not be disputed. He would smuggle it in and out as long as possible, in the name of peace.”
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, The Yearling

Jana Petken
“History shall never fade from sight.”
Jana Petken, Author, The Guardian of Secrets and Her Deathly Pact

Aravind Adiga
“Yes, it’s true: a few hundred thousand rupees of someone else’s money, and a lot of hard work, can make magic happen in this country.”
Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Tom Clancy
“To a man, professional soldiers despised terrorists, and each would dream about getting them in an even-up-battle; the idea of the Field of Honor had never died for the real professionals. It was the place where the ultimate decision was made on the basis of courage and skill, on the basis of manhood itself, and it was this concept that marked the professional soldier as a romantic, a person who truly believed in the rules.”
Tom Clancy, Patriot Games
