K.  Ritz
“It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation. It is true that desires of the moment can blind one’s sight of the future. Revenge is not as sweet as the adage claims. Yet who could pass a chance to taste it? And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Ammar Habib
“You must come to terms with the reality that nothing outside ourselves, be it people or things is actually responsible for our happiness.”
Ammar Habib, Mary Edwards Walker: America's Only Female Medal of Honor Recipient

Kate Chopin
“Don't stir all the warmth out of your coffee; drink it.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

Alan    Bradley
“We raced around, drinking and shouting out the windows into the night, finding parties to sneak into or bars that never closed. We wandered the night without fear, went skinny dipping in Central Park Lake at 3 a.m., and found dark clubs playing deafening EDM to dance to until we collapsed.”
Alan Bradley, The Sixth Borough

Susan  Rowland
“Mary stared at the dreamlike happenings on the page. Human figures faced each other; the man’s head was a golden ball with rays reaching up to huge stars and out to the distant mountains; the woman’s silver head was sickle-shaped and surrounded by birds like eagles with white beaks. Some of the black letters glowed because they had tips like tiny flames.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder
