Shel Silverstein
“Rockabye Baby, in the treetop
Dont you know a treetop
is no safe place to rock?
And who put you up there,
and your cradle too?
Baby,
I think someone down here
has got it in for you!”
Shel Silverstein

Elizabeth George Speare
“I can still see the green feathers if I look hard enough. But they've done their best to make you into a sparrow, haven't they?”
Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond

“Such abilities are the true gifts of the spirit, my daughter.”
Candace Lynn Talmadge, Stoneslayer: Book One Scandal

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

Joseph Conrad
“...most seamen lead, if one may so express it, a sedentary life.
Their minds are of the stay-at-home order.... In the immutability of their surroundings, the foreign shores, the foreign faces, the changing immensity of life glide past, veiled not by a sense of mystery but by a slightly disdainful ignorance; ... a casual stroll or a casual spree on shore suffices to unfold for him the secret of a whole continent, and generally he finds the secret not worth knowing.”
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
