John Grogan
“In a dog’s life, some plaster would fall, some cushions would open, some rugs would shred. Like any relationship, this one had its costs. They were costs we came to accept and balance against the joy and amusement and protection and companionship he gave us. We could have bought a small yacht with what we spent on our dog and all the things he destroyed. Then again, how many yachts wait by the door all day for your return? How many live for the moment they can climb in your lap or ride down the hill with you on a toboggan, licking your face?”
John Grogan, Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

J.K. Franko
“The children seek to resolve the issue amongst themselves, and mete out punishment to restore balance and keep the game going.”
J.K. Franko, Eye for Eye

Alex Haley
“Let me tell you something: I am a man.”
Alex Haley, Roots: The Saga of an American Family

“People leave Los Angeles because the county is a breeding ground for violent murders. You stay and flourish in Los Angeles because the county is a hotbed for homicides.”
Nancy Mangano, Running Stop Signs

Harold Bloom
“The vision men call Lilith is formed primarily by their anxiety at what they perceive to be the beauty of a woman's body, a beauty they believe to be at once, far greater and far less than their own.”
Harold Bloom
