Book cover for The Vanishing Half
“White folks kill you if you want too much, kill you if you want too little.” Willie Lee shook his head, packing tobacco into his pipe. “You gotta follow they rules but they change ’em when they feel. Devilish, you ask me.”

“If you have been told that you are late and unreliable more than once, then not only do you lack punctuality, but you also lack decency and seriousness, which is certainly very annoying.”
Oscar Auliq-Ice

George Carlin
“In America, anyone can become president. That's the problem.”
George Carlin

E.L. Konigsburg
“Five minutes of planning are worth fifteen minutes of just looking.”
E.L. Konigsburg, Literature Guide: From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Louis de Bernières
“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and, when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.”
Louis de Bernières, Corelli’s Mandolin

“It was yesterday, or it was a thousand years ago. There wasn’t really a difference. Time was a swamp inside a giant washing machine.”
Michael Poore, Reincarnation Blues
