Harriet Ann Jacobs
“When we left the church, my father's old mistress invited me to go home with her. She clasped a gold chain round my baby's neck. I thank her for the kindness; but I did not like the emblem. I wanted no chain to be fastened on my daughter, not even if its links were of gold.”
Harriet Ann Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

Irène Némirovsky
“Elle variait ses hallucinations à son gré. Elle ne se contentait pas du passé; elle escomptait l'avenir! Elle changeait le présent selon sa volonté; elle mentait et se trompait elle-même, mais comme ses mensonges étaient ses propres oeuvres, elle les chérissait. Pour de brefs instants, elle était heureuse. Il n'y avait plus à son bonheur ces limites imposées par le réel. Tout était possible, tout était à sa portée. D'abord, la guerre était finie.”
Irène Némirovsky, Suite Française

Karl Braungart
“Luma, if you want to escape, I have a choice for you to make.”
Karl Braungart, Triple Deception

Anna Sewell
“we should see what was there, and know what was what, and be much less frightened than by only seeing bits of things that we can’t understand.”
Anna Sewell, Black Beauty

Michael G. Kramer
“The American generals could only think in terms of large armies and huge battles. They believed or hoped that an enemy who chose to hide in jungles and tunnels would quickly be flushed out by American fire-power and then die in open battle.”
Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy
