“As she drew closer to the fairgrounds, the group began to feel the festive atmosphere. People were hurrying toward the entrance, flags were flying, and a brass band was playing.”
Carolyn Keene, The Mystery of the Ivory Charm

John Ajvide Lindqvist
“A speck of light was visible in the dark middle window and a split second later it shattered.

The reinforced glass didn't shatter like regular glass. It exploded into thousands of tiny rounded fragments that, after flying out into the hall, over the water, glittering like myriad white stars landed with a rustle at the edge of the pool.”
John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let The Right One In

Jostein Gaarder
“هرچند که مسائل فلسفی به همه ما مربوط است اما همه ما فیلسوف نمی شویم. به دلایل گونان بیشتر مردم چناندرگیر مسائل روزمره زندگی اند که شگفتی دنیا را از خاطر می برند”
Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World

Todor Bombov
“Yesterday, I asked a robot, Gumball I think, do you know Murphy’s law of gravitation? It answered, ‘No, sir, I know only Newton’s and Einstein’s laws of gravitation; I don’t know Murphy’s law.’ I replied, ‘Eh, Gumball, the slice always falls with the buttered side to the floor. That’s Murphy’s law.’” Everyone burst into laughter.”
Todor Bombov, Homo Cosmicus 2: Titan

“That is a death I will think of often and with great fondness.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Steel Blood
