Misty Mount
“When I realized what the drawing was depicting, I thought I would feel horror-stricken and petrified, but a strange calm had settled over me. I said, “This blackness was in my nightmare. It was coming for me to take me away . . . and I was running, trying to escape.”
Misty Mount, The Shadow Girl

Jung Chang
“In China, one was accustomed to a certain amount of injustice”
Jung Chang, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China

Max Nowaz
“He desperately tried to think of a story to explain his involvement in her sudden appearance, without mentioning the book of magic in his possession.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
“Papa, do buy him! it's no matter what you pay," whispered Eva, softly, getting up on a package, and putting her arm around her father's neck. "You have money enough, I know. I want him." "What for, pussy? Are you going to use him for a rattle-box, or a rocking-horse, or what? "I want to make him happy." "An original reason, certainly.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin

Annie Dillard
“If we were to judge nature by its common sense or likelihood, we wouldn't believe the world existed. In nature, improbabilities are the one stock in trade. The whole creation is one lunatic fringe....No claims of any and all revelations could be so far-fetched as a single giraffe.”
Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
