Gabriel F.W. Koch
“She must feel like Lucifer’s frigid breath is running down the back of her delicate neck.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Death Leaves a Shadow

Thomas  Harris
“His empty hands hanging palms forward at his sides, he stood at the window looking to the empty east. He did not look for dawn; east was only the way the window faced.”
Thomas Harris, The Silence of the Lambs

Barry Kirwan
“We’re not very good at peace, not really. War is in our nature,’ he said.
‘Men’s nature,’ she corrected.”
Barry Kirwan, When the children come

Gail Carson Levine
“Perhaps you couldn't help being angry... but you could certainly stop yourself from repaying one offense with another.”
Gail Carson Levine, Ella Enchanted

“I was alone. I had no one. No mother, no father, no brothers, no sisters, no grandmas, no grandpas, no uncles, no aunties, no cousins, and no tribe. I’d seen the children at the orphanage laugh or cry when they received news about a family member. I would never receive such news and no family would laugh or cry for me. That day I understood with sharp clarity that I didn’t have a mother who wanted me.”
Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child
