C. Toni Graham
“I read her nasty, wicked thoughts—and she knows for sure that I am a Druid. She is totally warped and absolutely no doubt about it—evil!”
C. Toni Graham, Crossroads and the Himalayan Crystals

“We proceeded to make way across the mighty Hooghly River, a monstrous offshoot of the Ganges, where we contemplated for a moment, our thoughts seemingly caught in the roaring southward current; there we gazed, toward where the city transitions into mangrove jungle, and somewhere a bit further to the southwest where all the rivers split infinitely like capillaries, where those famous Bengal tigers trod among the sunderbans. Peering in that direction, Bajju gripped the vertical bars just above the horizontal pedestrian railing, breathing slowly and silently, knees locked, still, despite being on arguably the busiest and loudest bridge in the world.”
Colin Phelan, The Local School

Euripides
“حتى الكوارث العنيفة التي تصيب البشر يصيبها الإعياء بعد حين، وهبات الرياح العاصفة لا تحتفظ بقوة اندفاعها على الدوام، من المحال أن يدوم حال المحظوظين إلى الأبد، فكافة الأمور تتغير وتتبادل المواقف مع بعضها البعض، إن أفضل الرجال يثق باستمرار في الآمال، أما اليأس فشيمة الضعفاء.”
Euripides, Herakles

Annie Dillard
“Books swept me away, this way and that, one after the other; I made endless vows according to their lights for I believed them.”
Annie Dillard

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“I knew I rode a rugged crest of turmoil that might crash on the rocky shore of irrational behavior.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Death Leaves a Shadow
