Max Nowaz
“Do you still distrust me?”
“No. Take your necklace with you so you can think of me when I’m not there.”
Brown brought the necklace over to her and put it on her neck.
“I think it rather suits me,” she laughed and left.
Brown didn’t understand what had made him insist she wear the necklace. Maybe it
was the readiness with which she had made love, or her frequent disappearances lately,
he was just curious. There was no harm in checking, before he parted with the money.
Later that evening, before going to sleep he decided to have a look at her location and
he was in for a surprise. She had not left Central City at all. In fact she was at the same
friend’s address as she had been the last time.”
Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

A.R. Merrydew
“The machines were simple and harmless, developed by a human genius who set in motion something, which ultimately had far reaching consequences.”
A.R. Merrydew, The Girl with the Porcelain Lips

T. Rafael Cimino
“There are roughly 1,200 dogs trained to detect bombs and bomb making materials in the US - and over 40,000 trained to detect marijuana. Some of the bomb-dogs are also cross trained as drug-dogs which accounts for their ability to sleep well at night.”
T. Rafael Cimino, Mid Ocean

A.S. Byatt
“Много по-късно той се събуди в просъница и реши, че чува морето, което от тази стая не беше невъзможно, но после осъзна, че тя безшумно хлипа. Протегна ръка и тя несръчно притисна лице във врата му - не за утеха, а с някакъв сляп натиск, за да забрави.
- Какво има, мила?
- Как можем да го понесем?
- Кое?
- Това. Това кратко преброено време. Как можем да го проспим?
- Можем да мълчим заедно и да се преструваме - понеже сме още в началото, - че разполагаме с цялото време на света.
- Което ще намалява всеки ден. И накрая ще свърши.
- Нима заради това би предпочела изобщо да го няма?
- Не. Именно към този момент вървя от самото начало. От мига, от който имам чувство за време. Когато си отида, това ще е средата, точката, към която всичко е водело преди и от която всичко ще продължи. Ала сега, любими, сега сме тук и тези други времена се случват другаде.
- Много поетичен, но неутешителен възглед.
- И двамата знаем, че добрата поезия е неутешителна.”
A.S. Byatt, Possession

Zora Neale Hurston
“I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.”
Zora Neale Hurston
