Gregory Maguire
“The real thing about evil… you figure out one side of it - the human side, say - and the eternal side goes into shadow. Or vice versa. The real disaster of this inquiry is that it is the nature of evil to be secret.”
Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

Christopher Hitchens
“Part of the function of memory is to forget; the omni-retentive mind will break down and produce at best an idiot savant who can recite a telephone book, and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterday's.”
Christopher Hitchens, Love, Poverty, and War: Journeys and Essays

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

David  Mitchell

David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Charles Dowding
“Once your soil is fertile and weed-free, everything else becomes easier.”
Charles Dowding, Charles Dowding's Skills for Growing
