Kelly Barnhill
“Even imperfect things can be precious, after all. The choice itself is precious. The smallness and the largeness of an individual life does not change the fundamental honor and value of every manifestation of our personhood.”
Kelly Barnhill, When Women Were Dragons

Marthe Jocelyn
“Young women are restrained by so many tethers, it is not surprising that occasionally they get themselves tangled.”
Marthe Jocelyn, The Seaside Corpse

Jan Eliasberg
“As the boy grew, he applied himself to the understanding of science and life, but always the first more readily than the second, for science was the logical aim of his own passionate curiosity, and life was the mystic parabola that eluded his grasp every time he became certain he had solved the equation of its inevitable arc.”
Jan Eliasberg, Hannah's War

Kelly Barnhill
“The beautiful thing about science is that we do not know what we cannot know and we will not know until we know. It requires an incredible amount of humility to be willing to be wrong nearly all the time. But we have to be willing to be wrong, and proven wrong, in order to increase knowledge overall. It is a thankless, and essential, job. Thank goodness.”
Kelly Barnhill, When Women Were Dragons

Jan Eliasberg
“We do what we do because of a deep-seated thrill that follows a familiar path from awakened inkling to assiduous pursuit to compulsive repetition, repetition, repetition, to final fruition, an instant of overtaking that engulfs all conscious thought and spiritual capacity, the mental equivalent of physical climax.”
Jan Eliasberg, Hannah's War
