Robert Dugoni
“There comes a day in every man's life when he stops looking forward and starts looking back.
Because of my father's circumstances, I had a sad commentary on life, but I now understood that he was offering me his own gift, one that only time can provide. He was offering me the gift of perspective. My father was telling me that while we tend to remember the dramatic incidents that change history---Armstrong's walk on the moon, Nixon's resignation, and the Loma Prieta earthquake---we live for the quiet, intimate moments that mark not our calendars, but our hearts: The day we marry. The days our children are born. Their first step. Their first word. Their first day of school. And when our children grow, we remember those moments with a touch of melancholy: the day they get their driver's license, the day we drive them to college, the day they marry, and the day they have their children.
And the cycle begins anew.
We realize it is in those quiet moments that each of us has the ability to make our lives extraordinary.”
Robert Dugoni, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell

“Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!”
Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island

Adam Gidwitz
“There is a certain kind of pain that can change you. Even the strongest sword, when placed in a raging fire, will soften and bend and change its form...
Trust me on this one. I know this from personal experience. I hope that you never will, but, since you're a person, and therefore prone to making horrible, soul-splitting mistakes, you probably will one day know what this kind of guilt and shame feels like. And when that time comes, I hope you have the strength...to take advantage of the fire and reshape your own sword.”
Adam Gidwitz, A Tale Dark & Grimm

Adam Gidwitz
“There is this weird thing that happens, when you stop worrying so much about what other people think of you...you suddenly start seeing what you think of you.”
Adam Gidwitz, In a Glass Grimmly

“Life is about heart. Yours is as big as any kid’s I’ve ever coached. Don’t you ever forget that.”
Robert Dugoni, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell
