William Golding
“My yesterdays walk with me. They keep step, they are gray faces that peer over my shoulder.”
William Golding

Frank Herbert
“Do actions agree with words? There's your measure of reliability. Never confine yourself to the words.”
Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

“Robert said, "This is great, huh? Sorry to butt in and everything, but I really need the extra points. For my grade."

Ben nodded and tried to smile. Right, for his grade. He probably wanted to get an A++ in social studies instead of just an A+”
Andrew Clements, We the Children

T.S. Eliot
“When war is not just it is subsequently justified; so it becomes
many things. In reality, an unjust war is merely piracy.
It consists of piracy, ego and, more than anything, money.
War is our century's prostitution.”
Thomas Stearns Eliot

Cormac McCarthy
“Because the question for me was always whether that shape we see in our lives was there from the beginning or whether these random events are only called a pattern after the fact. Because otherwise we are nothing.”
Cormac McCarthy, All The Pretty Horses
