“Cool beans.”
R.J. Palacio, Wonder

Harold Bloom
“We all fear loneliness, madness, dying. Shakespeare and Walt Whitman, Leopardi and Hart Crane will not cure those fears. And yet these poets bring us fire and light.”
Harold Bloom, The Anatomy of Influence: Literature as a Way of Life

Andrew  Davidson
“I do not believe," whispered Father Sunder, "in any God that considers love to be a sin.”
Andrew Davidson

Therisa Peimer
“Her unexpected outburst rocked Flaminius to his core. Suddenly, she didn't seem so angelic. Her face twisted with rage; veins in her neck throbbed with fury in a scene all too familiar. Her reaction switched him off to her instantly as all his worst fears came to life.”
Therisa Peimer, Taming Flame

Barry Kirwan
“They must train you pretty good not to react to shit like that. Must take stuff out of you.” Vince’s eyes intensified then broke her gaze. ‘Actually, it’s more like they put stuff in.”
Barry Kirwan, The Eden Paradox
