“Animals die, friends die, and I shall die, but one thing never dies, and that is the reputation we leave behind at our death.”
Michael Crichton, Eaters of the Dead

Neal Shusterman
“Lord, if what I'm doing is wrong, then by all means strike me down. Otherwise set me free.”
Neal Shusterman, UnWholly

Rebecca Skloot
“Henrietta died in 1951 from a vicious case of cervical cancer, he told us. But before she died, a surgeon took samples of her tumor and put them in a petri dish. Scientists had been trying to keep human cells alive in culture for decades, but they all eventually died. Henrietta’s were different: they reproduced an entire generation every twenty-four hours, and they never stopped. They became the first immortal human cells ever grown in a laboratory.”
Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Arthur Golden
“If he couldn't forgive you for what you'd done, it was clear to me he was never truly your destiny.”
Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

Malcolm X
“To tell a woman not to talk too much was like telling Jesse James not to carry a gun, or a hen not to cackle.”
Malcolm X
