K.  Ritz
“Gossip is like thread wound over a spindle of truth, changing its shape.”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Barbara Sontheimer
“I'm afraid!" She cried breaking free from his embrace.
But this time, he refused to let her go.  "No, no, no, you're not afraid of me!  What am I...a foot and half taller than you and out weigh you by 130 pounds, how could you possibly be afraid of me!" He laughed.”
Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

Mary Doria Russell
“He found the life of Jesus profoundly moving; the miracles, on the other hand, seemed a barrier to faith, and he tended to explain them to himself in rational terms. It was as though there were only seven loaves and seven fishes. Maybe the miracle was that people shared what they had with strangers, he thought in the darkness.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow

Adam Smith
“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It”
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

Chaim Potok
“I do not sculpt and paint to make the world sacred. I sculpt and paint to give permanence to my feelings about how terrible the world truly is. Nothing is real to me except my own feelings; nothing is true except my own feelings as I see them all around me in my sculptures and paintings. I know these feelings are true, because if they were not true they would make art that is as terrible as the world.”
Chaim Potok, My Name Is Asher Lev
