Virginia Woolf
“I am not one and simple, but complex and many.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

John Fowles
“Stop thinking about class, she'd say. Like a rich man telling a poor man to stop thinking about money.”
John Fowles, The Collector

Alexander Hamilton
“The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion.”
Alexander Hamilton

Iain Banks
“Even galaxy-spanning anarchist utopias of stupefying full-spectrum civilisational power have turf wars within their unacknowledged militaries.”
Iain M. Banks, Matter

Therisa Peimer
“Mom, please don't use 'the happy voice.' It reminds me of the day Tinkles died."
"Who was Tinkles?" Sue asked around a mouthful of pancake.
"My cat. When I was five, Tinkles died choking on a mouse that was a bit ambitious for a kitten to eat."
"It was terribly traumatic for Aurelia because it was the first time she'd experienced loss." 
"What did you do to help her get through it?" 
Rosalind smiled at Mother Guardian. "Well, after a good cry, we performed an autopsy."
Aurelia reached for her mother's hand. "I never thanked you for that.”
Therisa Peimer, Taming Flame
