Alan    Bradley
“When you’re in The System, like after being arrested, you’re no longer a participant. You’re being processed. Instead of an easy to ignore, well-greased cog, you become a sharp edge that needs to be ground down.”
Alan Bradley, The Sixth Borough

Andri E. Elia
“Ma should marry our bio dad, and he can be our friend  but not our dad. You’re our dad, Da. And we’re the Furies; you can’t split us.”
Andri E. Elia, Yildun: Worldmaker of Yand

Raz Mihal
“Whenever my heart burns with happy sorrow over missing Her, I must visit the rooftop mostly every few days.”
Raz Mihal, Just Love Her

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“Maya In the unitive experience, every trace of separateness disappears; life is a seamless whole. But the body cannot remain in this state for long. After a while, awareness of mind and body returns, and then the conventional world of multiplicity rushes in again with such vigor and vividness that the memory of unity, though stamped with reality, seems as distant as a dream. The unitive state has to be entered over and over until a person is established in it. But once established, even in the midst of ordinary life, one sees the One underlying the many, the Eternal beneath the ephemeral”
Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

“Guido raised his hand to his head and moved his index finger around in a circle near his temple indicating Smalley Pauley had some mental issues.”
A.G. Russo, Bangtails, Grifters, and a Liar's Kiss
