Wally Lamb
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
Wally Lamb, I'll Take You There

“The filigreed iron gates of the Navy Yard were open wide between two pillars that featured large spread-winged eagles on orbs. Men were standing around as women came out together in their overalls after their shifts. Before the war women didn’t work at the Navy Yard, but with men joining up or drafted and a new campaign with a poster of 'Rosie the Riveter' it did its job encouraging woman to work outside the home for the war effort.”
A.G. Russo, The Cases Nobody Wanted

Adam Scott Huerta
“I understand more that pain is evidence to our awakening to truth and also a measure of closeness to truth.”
Adam Scott Huerta, Motive Black

Elizabeth Tebby Germaine
“But when his accusers rose to speak they brought none of the charges I was expecting; they merely had several points of disagreement with him about their peculiar religion and about someone called Jesus, a dead man whom Paul alleged to be alive … Jonathan read on, fascinated by the story, there were so many interesting details. But then he paused – was it the true story it said it was?”
Elizabeth Tebby Germaine, A MAN WHO SEEMED REAL: A story of love, lies, fear and kindness

Günter Grass
“When Jan was called up to service a fourth time...my mother waited outside...the two of them were convinced that this time Jan would have to go, that they would surely send him off to cure his ailing chest in the air of France, famed for its iron and lead content.”
Günter Grass, The Tin Drum
