Cecelia Holland
“The telegraph kept this all moving fast. The whole transaction between Wheeling and Washington took place in a matter of hours, and could have done so if the ends were San Francisco and Washington. So now, of course, a man could make a stupid decision much faster. So Hayes’s natural caution made sense.”
Cecelia Holland, Blood on the Tracks

“NFL in general: Millionaire babies taking to the field to shuck, jive and juke for elderly billionaire plantation masters. The players who do take a stand by kneeling are vilified, nullified and ostracized. And fans continue to subsidize this cirque du soulless in some publicly funded, corporate-owned stadium with the audacity to charge ten dollars for a cup of warm beer, eight dollars for cold hot dogs and ninety dollars for jerseys bearing terminally concussed gridiron legends’ names and numbers.”

Ursula K. Le Guin
“To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”

Diana Gabaldon, Outlander
