Andri E. Elia
“He totally lost it. Here comes the apoplexy.”
Andri E. Elia, Yildun: Worldmaker of Yand

Michael Wyndham Thomas
“After that, nothing was the same. The very notion of my having a family turned vague, hard to credit, even weirdly jokey.”
Michael Wyndham Thomas, The Erkeley Shadows

Robert         Reid
“5. Then on a rainy day in early July the words she was copying from one of Martha the Benevolent’s ancient sayings spoke to her:
Birds fly free until they are put in a cage, but the cage does not bind their wings
When the cage is opened, the wings spread out, and the bird flies free again
So the poor are trapped in a cage by the avarice of the rich
Not in a cage made of gold, but one of hunger, despair and need
So the prisoner dreams of the wide open spaces
Wind in her hair, breathing in the freedom, beyond the four walls of her cell
Our mission is to free the prisoner, to help the poor to spread their wings
To open the door of the oppressor’s cage, to find a way to a fairer age.”
Robert Reid, The Empress

“Fair enough, that's what most people look for to begin with, but money can be a sliding scale, the more you have, the more you want, the more you need,' McBlane said as he sharpened the ash on the tip of his cigar into a point against the rim of the ashtray. It gave him the appearance of wielding a dagger as he gestured with his cigar holding hand.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

K.  Ritz
“Buying loyalty can be as effective as fear when one’s rival is poorer than oneself.”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master
