Alexander Hamilton
“maxims.”
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers

Max Brooks
“Gu was a worrier, a neurotic curmudgeon. If he had a headache, it was a brain tumor; if it looked like rain, this year’s harvest was ruined. This was his way of controlling the situation, his lifelong strategy for always coming out ahead. Now, when reality looked more dire than any of his fatalistic predictions, he had no choice but to turn tail and charge in the opposite direction.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Carson McCullers
“The writer by nature of his profession is a dreamer and a conscious dreamer. He must imagine, and imagination takes humility, love and great courage. How can you create a character without live and the struggle that goes with love?”
Carson McCullers

Jean M. Auel
“the leaders arranged themselves near the mouth of the cave. They waited quietly for the attention of the assembled clans. The silence spread out like the ripples of a stone cast in a pond as the presence of the leaders was made known. Men moved quickly into positions defined by clan and personal rank. The women dropped their work, signaled suddenly well-behaved children, and silently followed suit. The Bear Ceremony was about to begin.”
Jean M. Auel, The Clan of the Cave Bear

“Night, the mother of fear and mystery,
was coming upon me.”
H.G. Wells
