Susan  Rowland
“Falconers,” she continued, sternly. “Pull yourselves together. People are dying. The police don’t have the family history to solve murders forty years apart.”
Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds

Brian Selznick
“Ben remembered reading about curators in "Wonderstruck", and thought about what id meant to curate your own life, as his dad had done here. What would it be like to pick and choose the objects and stories that would go in your own cabinet? How would Ben curate his own life? And then, thinking about his museum box, and his house, and his books, and the secret room, he realized he'd already begun doing it. Maybe, thought Ben, we are all cabinets of wonders.”
Brian Selznick, Wonderstruck

Fynn
“For Anna, ‘love’ meant the recognition of perfectibility in another. Anna ‘saw’ a person in every part. Anna ‘saw’ a ‘you’. Now that is something to experience, to be seen as a ‘you’, clearly and definitely, with no parts hidden. Wonderful and frightening.”
Fynn, Mister God, This is Anna

“Remove the comma, replace the comma, remove the comma, replace the comma...”
R.D. Ronald

Henri Charrière
“The blow was such a stunner that it was thirteen years before I could get back on to my feet again.”
Henri Charrière, Papillon
