Gary Paulsen
“Patience, he thought. So much of this was patience - waiting, and thinking and doing things right. So much of all this, so much of all living was patience and thinking.”
Gary Paulsen, Hatchet

Richard Yates
“How could any healthy girl be expected to care for a mentally unbalanced man?”
Richard Yates, Disturbing the Peace

Ayn Rand
“Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Author Harold Phifer
“I knew Dad was concerned about my past associations. I was from the Trash Alley. It was my community. I hung out with thugs from the Frog Bottom, the Burns Bottoms, the Red Line, the S-Curve, the Sandfield, the Morning Side, and a bunch of other places that shall remain nameless. I knew all of the “Legends of the Hood”: Sin Man, Swap, Boo Boo, Emp-Man, Cookie Man, Shank, Polar Bear, Bae Willy, Bae Bruh, Skullhead Ned, Pimp, Crunch, and Goat Turd (just to name a few). I thought maybe Dad had summoned me as a “show and tell” for the kids in his neighborhood—the hardliner to scare those wayward suburban brats back into reality.”
Harold Phifer, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar
