“When Haughey emphasised that ‘a very keen sense of injustice [was] rampant in Ireland’, Mrs Thatcher asked for how long these emotions had lasted. The Taoiseach said, ‘700 years in our country.”
Jennifer O'Leary, The Padre: The True Story of the Irish Priest who armed the IRA with Gaddafi’s Money

Harry Harrison
“Looks like another scorcher today”
Harry Harrison, Make Room! Make Room!

“America's current China policy amounts to an unstated bargain: We have abandoned any serious attempt to challenge China's one-party state, and we have gotten in exchange the right to unfettered commerce with China.”
James Mann, The China Fantasy: Why Capitalism Will Not Bring Democracy to China

Peter F. Hamilton
“It was a collective building up of nerve, absolving them of any guilt in advance.”
Peter F. Hamilton, The Reality Dysfunction

Steve Ettlinger
“Oddly, most of the emphasis in U.S. beer promotion is on name recognition, so ads feature humor or social situations unrelated to the taste, ingredients, or general quality of the beer. In other words, while advertising should extol the virtues and the various features of a product, mega-brewed beer advertising tends to ignore the beer itself (don't get me started as to why). For examples, try a Swedish bikini team, baseball in the Rockies, and animated frogs. Get the idea? Fun, though. Great creativity. Effective, too. But they say little about beer.”
Steve Ettlinger, Beer For Dummies
