“Politics. The word is taken from the Ancient Greek. “Poly” means “many.” And ticks are tiny, bloodsucking insects.”
― Michael Dobbs, House of Cards

“There were moments when you saw the people you loved for who they really were, separate from the baggage of projection and shared histories. When you saw them with fresh eyes, as a stranger might, and caught the feeling of the first time you loved them. Before the tears and the armor chinks. When there was still the possibility of perfection.”
― Blake Crouch, Pines

“For every perfect little town, there's something ugly underneath. No dream without the nightmare.”
― Blake Crouch, Pines

“Politics requires sacrifice. The sacrifice of others, of course.”
― Michael Dobbs, House of Cards
