Robert Fulghum
“Pardon me, but my father says that it is a lie that Americans have everything. You have no sheep, no goats, no trees, no oil, no vines, no wine, not even chickens. He asks, 'What kind of life is that?' He says, 'No wonder you don't sing or dance or recite poetry very often.”
Robert Fulghum, What On Earth Have I Done?: Stories, Observations, and Affirmations

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“Notation on Quark Manipulation as Applied to the Time/Space Continuum.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Steel Blood

“Do you know where Jean de Tournet is?” Jason asked.
“He is dead, Uncle,” Charlotte said flatly.
“How do you know?”
“I killed him in 1943. He was doing business with the Nazis. He tried to rape me” – she stopped and shivered – “but I killed him before he could.”
Jason and Sophie both looked at Charlotte with horror. This was the first time Jason had showed any genuine emotion throughout the evening. It was fear.”
Hugo Woolley, The Wasp Trap

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“No sabía entonces que el océano del tiempo tarde o temprano nos devuelve los recuerdos que enterramos en él.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Marina

Ursula K. Le Guin
“You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
