Orson Scott Card
“People above you, they never want to share power with you. Why you look to them? They give you nothing. People below you, you give them hope, you give them respect, they give you power, cause they don't think they have any, so they don't mind giving it up.”
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Shadow

Tom Clancy
“Sunday was the normal day for the political awareness session at sea. Ordinarily Putin would have officiated, reading some Pravada editorials, followed by selected quotations from the works of Lenin and a discussion of the lessons to be learned from the readings. It is very much like a church service.”
Tom Clancy, The Hunt for Red October

Laura Hillenbrand
“The paradox of vengefulness is that it makes men dependent upon those who have harmed them, believing that their release from pain will come only when they make their tormentors suffer. In seeking the Bird's death to free himself, Louie had chained himself, once again, to his tyrant. During the war, the Bird had been unwilling to let go of Louie; after the war, Louie was unable to let go of the Bird.”
Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption

Adam Smith
“afflicted”
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

Sara Pascoe
“The sunset bled into the edges of the village. Smoke curled out of the cottage chimney like a crooked finger.”
Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For
