Jane Smiley
“and the horticulturalists really believed that gardening would save the world that agriculture was destroying.”

Paul Spencer Sochaczewski
“The Wallace-Ali relationship reflects the great mythic “hero’s journey.” Wallace might be seen as the Mentor/Wise Old Man, Ali as the naïve young hero who grows as the story evolves.”
Paul Spencer Sochaczewski, "Look Here, Sir, What a Curious Bird": Searching for Ali, Alfred Russel Wallace's Faithful Companion

Steven Decker
“Something must have gone awry with the programming. I have no idea where or when we are.”
Steven Decker, The Balance of Time

Anne  Michaud
“The Profumo Affair in 1963 profoundly altered British society. It gave lie to the belief that those born into the ruling class were inherently superior and destined to lead.”
Anne Michaud, Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Nine Political Wives

Harriet Beecher Stowe
“To him, it is the right of a man to be a man, and not a brute; the right to call the wife of his bosom his wife, and to protect her from lawless violence; the right to protect and educate his child; the right to have a home of his own, a religion of his own, a character of his own, unsubject to the will of another.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin
