Ken Follett
“It was odd, she reflected, that someone who had failed to condemn the rape would disapprove audibly of the mention of it.”
Ken Follett, The Evening and the Morning

“...you've wandered into the nuns' zone...”
Ken Follett, The Evening and the Morning

John Wiswell
“This had to be one of those human customs where the humans all knew what was wrong. They put the pieces of their horrible puzzles together automatically, and outcast anybody who could not. How was one supposed to do that?”
John Wiswell, Someone You Can Build a Nest In

Barbara W. Tuchman
“...satire is a wrapping of exaggeration around a core of reality.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century

Barbara W. Tuchman
“In Kilkenny, Ireland, brother John Clyn of the Friars Minor, another monk left alone among dead men, kept a record of what had happened lest "things which should be remembered perish with time and vanish from the memory of those who come after us." Sensing "the whole world, as it were, placed within the grasp of the Evil One," and waiting for death to visit him too, he wrote, "I leave parchment to continue this work, if perchance any man survive and any of the race of Adam escape this pestilence and carry on the work which I have begun." Brother John, as noted by another hand, died of the pestilence, but he foiled oblivion.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century
