Charles Frazier
“I decided that many of Bear’s stories and comments shared a general drift. They advised against fearing all of creation. But not because it is always benign, for it is not. It will, with certainty, consume us all. We are made to be destroyed. We are kindling for the fire, and our lives will stand as naught against the onrush of time. Bear’s position, if I understood it, was that refusal to fear these general terms of existence is an honorable act of defiance.”
Charles Frazier, Thirteen Moons

Henry David Thoreau
“Things do not change; we change.”
henry david thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Max Nowaz
“Every night I dream a lot. Every day I live a little.”
Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

Kim Edwards
“When he reached the desk he handed Caroline a photograph in a dark blue cardboard frame. It was a portrait, black and white, faintly tinted. The woman looking out wore a pale peach sweater. Her hair was gently waved, her eyes a deep shade of blue. Rupert Dean's wife, Emelda, dead now for twenty years. "She was te love of my life," he announced to Caroline, his voice so loud that people looked up.”
Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Jules Verne
“I discovered it, ventured into it, and before long, sir, you too will have passed through my Arabian tunnel!”
Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
