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

“My revered Papa insists on listening to the news thrice daily almost as though it were a religious obligation. We live in an atmosphere conditioned by Korea, United Nations and the Iron Curtain. Is it really true that I shan't have to hear about them? I don't mean to be flippant, but I don't see that it really helps the world if I am depressed three times a day.”
Carol Carnac, Crossed Skis

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

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

Deanna Raybourn
“Be brave. You have everything you need,” I murmured to no one in particular. “Everything indeed.” Excelsior!”
Deanna Raybourn, A Sinister Revenge
