Diana Gabaldon
“Mr. Gowan drew himself still straighter than his normal upright posture, braced both thumbs in the waist of his breeks, and prepared with all the romanticism of his aged, gallant heart to do battle, fighting with the law’s chosen weapon of excruciating boredom.”
Diana Gabaldon, Outlander

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.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

Nicholas D. Kristof
“Punishing and imprisoning the poor is the distinctively American response to poverty in the twenty-first century. Workers who cannot pay their debts, those who cannot afford private probation services, minorities targeted for traffic infractions, the homeless, the mentally ill, fathers who cannot pay child support and many others are all locked up. Mass incarceration is used to make social problems temporarily invisible and to create the mirage of something having been done.”
Nicholas D. Kristof, Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope

“Riley made a simple but telling observation about both feminist and nonfeminist rape deniers. “They are all talking about sex and promiscuity,” she said. But, she observed, “Rape is not about sex at all.”
Jody Raphael, Rape Is Rape: How Denial, Distortion, and Victim Blaming Are Fueling a Hidden Acquaintance Rape Crisis

Ursula K. Le Guin
“up and up under our treads. I thought, shivering, that there are things that outweigh comfort, unless one is an old woman or a cat.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
