“In many ways, revenge is much like an extramarital affair.
It never just “happens.” Nobody cheats without having fantasized
about it in advance, without having savored the idea.
Revenge, like seduction, is a process. It is a game of inches.”
― J.K. Franko, Eye for Eye

“But when people talk about it they call it The Zombie Room.”

“Just a moment Mrs. Olmsted, Ma’am. I haven’t finished yet. I need to ask you a couple more questions.”
She turned back to face the detective, her tears subsiding.
“Could you tell me where you’ve been for the last several hours?”
“Where I’ve been?”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
“My husband is lying here dead, and you have the audacity to ask me where I’ve been?”
― Behcet Kaya, Murder in Buckhead

“Encounters with the Archdruid is a paradigm of structural complexity. It’s like a piece of fine cabinetry, fussy and great, and great in part because nothing in the writing calls attention to the structure. The book, from the early 1970s, is in essence an extended profile of David Brower, then the nation’s most prominent and controversial environmentalist. The story is told in three parts, each of them an “encounter” showing Brower in confrontation or debate with people who represent for him the forces of environmental destruction.”
