J. Rose Black
“You could just fall in love with me, then.” He leaned closer. “Problem solved.” 
“You first.” I huffed and moved away, pain seared through my chest—stomping out the warmth that had been so alive a moment before.”
J. Rose Black, Chasing Headlines

Michael Ondaatje
“For we live with those retrievals from childhood that coalesce and echo throughout our lives, the way shattered pieces of glass in a kaleidoscope reappear in new forms and are songlike in their refrains and rhymes, making up a single monologue. We live permanently in the recurrence of our own stories, whatever story we tell.”
Michael Ondaatje, Divisadero

Kate Chopin
“The soul of her youth clamored for its rights; for a share in the world's glory and exultation.”
Kate Chopin, Beyond the Bayou and Other Short Stories by Kate Chopin

“The Word of God tells us this: “Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers” (Ephesians 4:11 NLT).”
Kathryn Krick, The Secret of the Anointing: Accessing the Power of God to Walk in Miracles

Philip Pullman
“The children will come to no harm."

"Except for the older ones. Like that poor kid down there."

"Mr. Scoresby, that is the way this world works. And if you want to put an end to cruelty and injustice, you must take me farther on. I have a job to do."

"Seems to me—" Lee said, feeling for the words, "seems to me the place you fight cruelty is where you find it, and the place you give help is where you see it needed.”
Philip Pullman, The Subtle Knife
