“Clara Thornfield arrived on a Thursday, which should have been my first warning. Good things never happened on Thursdays.”
M.H. Foster, The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan

“These don’t taste half bad,” Mrs. Crankshaw admitted, holding one of my turnips like it might explode. Each positive word seemed physically painful for her to speak. “For an amateur’s work,” she added hastily, as if to relieve the pressure all the compliments must have been exerting on her soul.”
M.H. Foster, The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“David Attenborough Explains the Mystery of Life Credit 312 “You can chronicle the history of life in a surprisingly detailed way in quite a short period. You know that life starts in the deep sea, and it leads to different types of invertebrates and shell, and crustaceans and shrimps and so on. Then there are fish with backbones, and fish with backbones emerge onto land and become amphibians with wet skins, and amphibians with wet skins get dry skins and become reptiles. And some of the reptiles turn their scaly skins into feathers and become birds, and the others turn them into hairs and become mammals…That’s what the history is, and you can put as much or as little detail on that skeleton as you like.”—Sir David Attenborough, naturalist”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, StarTalk: Everything You Ever Need to Know About Space Travel, Sci-Fi, the Human Race, the Universe, and Beyond

“The philosophy of humans, perpetually finding silver linings in clouds that were obviously full of lightning.”
M.H. Foster, The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan

Brenda Wineapple
“Hence the deal: the Constitution would protect the African slave trade until 1808, when, presumably, Congress would regulate it. (James Madison, a slaveholder, gloomily predicted, “twenty years will produce all the mischief that can be apprehended from the liberty to import slaves.” He was right.)”
Brenda Wineapple, Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, and Compromise, 1848-1877
