Walter Isaacson
“In the first 30 years of your life, you make your habits. For the last 30 years of your life, your habits make you.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

Richard  Adams
“With a kind of wry envy, Hazel realized that Bigwig was actually looking forward to meeting the Efrafan assault. He knew he could fight and he meant to show it. He was not thinking of anything else. The hopelessness of their chances had no important place in his thoughts. Even the sound of the digging, clearer already, only set him thinking of the best way to sell his life as dearly as he could.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down

Ellen Raskin
“Frenssh-fry”
Ellen Raskin, The Westing Game

John Steinbeck
“I ain't got no people. I seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone. That ain't no good. They don't have no fun. After a long time they get mean. They get wantin' to fight all the time. . . 'Course Lennie's a God damn nuisance most of the time, but you get used to goin' around with a guy an' you can't get rid of him.”
John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men

“The craggy lines that made up the character in his face now seemed like scars of defeat, inflicted on him over time.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree
