Scott  Hawkins
“Your affection is not meaningless to me, puny one. I shall devour you another day.”
Scott Hawkins, The Library at Mount Char

Lois McMaster Bujold
“So, how long has my mother had this questionable fetish for bisexual Barrayaran admirals? I don’t think even the Betans have earrings for that one.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen (Vorkosigan Saga

Neil Gaiman
“Magic,' said Odd, and he smiled, and thought, if magic means letting things do what they wanted to do, or be what they wanted to be...”
Neil Gaiman, Odd and the Frost Giants

G.K. Chesterton
“It’s what I call common sense, properly understood,’ replied Father Brown. ’It really is more natural to believe a preternatural story, that deals with things we don’t understand, than a natural story that contradicts things we do understand. Tell me that the great Mr Gladstone, in his last hours, was haunted by the ghost of Parnell, and I will be agnostic about it. But tell me that Mr Gladstone, when first presented to Queen Victoria, wore his hat in her drawing-room and slapped her on the back and offered her a cigar, and I am not agnostic at all. That is not impossible; it’s only incredible. But I’m much more certain it didn’t happen than that Parnell’s ghost didn’t appear; because it violates the laws of the world I do understand. So it is with that tale of the curse. It isn’t the legend that I disbelieve — it’s the history.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Incredulity of Father Brown

Mary Doria Russell
“What is it in humans that makes us so eager to believe ill of one another? ... What makes us so hungry for it? Failed idealism, he suspected. We disappoint ourselves and then look around for other failures to convince ourselves: it's not just me. (15)”
Mary Doria Russell, Children of God
