Jasper Fforde
“The safest course was actually the simplest—do nothing at all and hope everything turned out for the best. It wasn’t a great plan, but it had the benefits of simplicity and a long tradition.”
Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey

J.D.   Palmer
“Dinner that evening is a simple affair: canned peaches and cold canned chili and half an apple each.”
J.D. Palmer, The Meek

Jess Row
“In the first couple of weeks there were big piles of trash outside every house. All the stuff you couldn’t find another use for and couldn’t compost. Yogurt cups, torn trash bags, dirty diapers, hair-spray cans, paper towels. Sometimes you’d see a pile that was as high as your waist. Nathan said it was a purge, a cleanse. But you could just as well say that who we were went out with the empties. We will never get our selves back.”
Jess Row, The Empties

Dexter Palmer
“To agree to a marriage is to consent to a mutual act of transformation, to promise to ensure that the versions of yourselves that you will become will remain in harmony, though you yourselves can never stay the same.”
Dexter Palmer, Version Control

Emily St. John Mandel
“She knows there are traps everywhere that can make her cry, she knows the way she dies a little every time someone asks her for change and she doesn't give it to them means that she's too soft for this world or perhaps just for this city, she feels so small here.”
Emily St. John Mandel
