A.R. Merrydew
“Science Fiction, is the last great escape.”
A.R. Merrydew

“Solitude led to retrospective thinking, and if the past is what you are trying to get away from, then constant distractions in the present are needed.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

Diane Setterfield
“Our lives are so important to us that we tend to think the story of them begins with our birth. First there was nothing, then I was born... Yet that is not so. Human lives are not pieces of string that can be separated out from a knot of others and laid out straight. Families are webs. Impossible to touch one part of it without setting the rest vibrating. Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole.”
Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

Lucian Bane
“Lobotomy The stifling air in the dark cell slowly turned colder with that one word. Every beat of Solomon’s heart brought the poison of that word deeper into his mind, until his blood felt like acid and scraped at his bones.”
Lucian Bane, Desecrating Solomon II

Tom Robbins
“I'll bet I'm as old as you are."
"I'm older than Sanskrit."
"Well, I was waitress at the Last Supper."
"I'm so old I remember when McDonald's had only sold a hundred burgers."
"You win.”
Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker
