Max Nowaz
“Just now he was on a mind-blowing adventure and it was rapidly spiralling out of control, and this is what he needed to concentrate his mind on. How could he squeeze Daley to get the book back; that’s if Daley had it in his possession in the first place? The next few days were going to be crucial.”
Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

Alan    Bradley
“Do you want to live, Sander?”
Alan Bradley, The Sixth Borough

“Ferret took out a folded scrap of paper and passed it to him.
'My guy Ben doesn't know where the other club is, but the girls are being shipped in from here, a rehab centre in Newtonville.'
'What's this other place called?' Tazeem asked as he slipped the scrap of paper into his pocket.
'The place is just known as The Club. But the behind-the-scenes bit that only the real big spenders get to see, there's no official name, 'cause officially it doesn't exist, that's know as The Zombie Room.”
R.D. Ronald, The Zombie Room

Margaret Wise Brown
“What's that?" said the cat-- "Faith."
"To believe what I tell you about what your don't know," said the fish.”
Margaret Wise Brown, The Little Island

Brian Selznick
“Maybe the play wasn't about miracles. No, maybe it was about the passage of time, and the need for patience, and the ability to forgive. Maybe Shakespeare was saying that even in a world where miracles can happen, there's still going to be pain, and loss, and regret. Because sometimes people die and you can't bring them back. That's what life is Joseph realized, miracles and sadness, side by side.”
Brian Selznick, The Marvels
