Walter Farley
“Black Minx never moved. She seemed to know what this was all about. She accepted their offerings, their embraces, in a very queenly way. Her manner indicated that she was getting only what was long due her, and that she had known all along no colt would beat her in the Kentucky Derby.
Perhaps she had known. Alec and Henry wouldn't have been surprised. She was that kind of girl.”
Walter Farley, The Black Stallion's Filly

Elizabeth Kostova
“People seem to believe that despair is the same as anguish, but it is not. It’s true that despair is surrounded by anguish, but at its core, despair is silent, a blank page.”
Elizabeth Kostova, The Shadow Land

Michael Ondaatje
I wanted to find one law to cover all of living. I found fear....
Michael Ondaatje, Anil's Ghost

Max Nowaz
“Rachael, I don’t think this is a very good idea.” Adam tried to protest and break away, but it was too late. She had a good hold on him by now, and he was going nowhere.
“Not bad for a little man like you,” she said. “There seems to be something different about you lately.” Rachael smiled.”
Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

Willa Cather
“Carl sat musing until the sun leaped above the prairie, and in the grass about him all the small creatures of day began to tune their tiny instruments. Birds and insects without number began to chirp, to twitter, to snap and whistle, to make all manner of fresh shrill noises. The pasture was flooded with light; every clump of ironweed and snow-on-the-mountain threw a long shadow, and the golden light seemed to be rippling through the curly grass like the tide racing in.”
Willa Cather, O Pioneers!
