Steven Decker
“When the light reached its zenith, the group of 1,000 Travelers down below could no longer be seen. Suddenly, the intense light ceased to be, returning the lighting of the stadium to a normal level. Dani felt a moment of disorientation, but she soon recovered and looked down at an empty stadium.”
Steven Decker, Time Chain

Rohith S. Katbamna
“What is hell? Holding your breath forever.”
Rohith S. Katbamna, Gulab

James W. Loewen
“The next successful Republican candidate, Ronald Reagan, deliberately chose a citadel of white supremacy -- the Neshoba County Fair in Mississippi -- as the kickoff site for his presidential campaign, where he declared his support for "states rights," code words signaling that the federal government should leave local jurisdictions to handle the "race problem" as they see fit.”
James W. Loewen, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism
