Kirsten Fullmer
“From the antique Persian rugs covering the gleaming hardwood floors to the molded tin ceilings and ornate chandeliers, the house was a showstopper. Throughout its long life, no one had allowed this home to fall into disrepair. Every detail of the wainscoting, every pocket door, every window, floor tile, and bathtub was original to the house.”
Kirsten Fullmer, Trouble on Main Street

Adam Smith
“Every species of animals naturally multiplies in proportion to the means of their subsistence, and no species can ever multiply beyond it. But in civilised society it is only among the inferior ranks of people that the scantiness of subsistence can set limits to the further multiplication of the human species; and it can do so in no other way than by destroying a great part of the children which their fruitful marriages produce.”
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

Naomi Klein
“The dirty secret of the neoliberal era is that these ideas were never defeated in a great battle of ideas, nor were they voted down in elections. They were shocked out of the way at key political junctures.”
Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

Lee Matthew Goldberg
“The music grew louder, faster, as we saw an empty couch on the balcony and ran to get it, pushed aside another couple darting for the same thing, but it was ours, and we smiled wide, laughing at our fortune, our couch.”
Lee Matthew Goldberg, Slow Down

Erik Larson
“How easy it was to disappear: A thousand trains a day entered or left Chicago.”
Erik Larson, The Devil in the White City
