“What's everyone talking about?"
"The end of The Iliad."
"That's the best part," Marx said.
"Why is it the best part?" Sadie asked.
"Because it's perfect," Marx said. "'Tamer of horses' is an honest profession. The lines mean that one doesn't have to be a god or a king for your life to have meaning.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Octavia E. Butler
“I couldn’t really let her come all the way back. I couldn’t let her return to what she was, I couldn’t let her come back whole and that, I think, really symbolizes her not coming back whole. Antebellum slavery didn’t leave people quite whole.”
Octavia E. Butler, Kindred

Marvin Bell
“Learn the rules, break the rules, make up new rules, break the new rules.”
Marvin Bell

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Do you think that I count the days? There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.”
Jean-Paul Sartre

Octavia E. Butler
“He wasn't a monster at all. Just an ordinary man who sometimes did the monstrous things his society said were legal and proper.”
Octavia E. Butler, Kindred
