“He has made his fellow citizens happier, and there is no finer virtue by the customs of this gentle, rich land.”
N.K. Jemisin, How Long 'til Black Future Month?

“Being a parent’s a breeze,” came Alan’s cheerful voice on the wind. “No more difficult than flying a plane with a blindfold on and holes in your wings.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter

Kate Morton
“Sentimentality was mawkish and cloying, where nostalgia was acute and aching. It described yearning of the most profound kind: an awareness that time’s passage could not be stopped and there was no going back to reclaim a moment or a person or to do things differently.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter

N.K. Jemisin
“Some wings are organza stitched onto school backpacks; some are quilted cotton stuffed with dried flowers and clipped to jacket shoulders. Some few have been carefully glued together from dozens of butterflies’ discarded wings—but only those butterflies that died naturally, of course. Thus adorned, children who can run through the streets do so, leaping off curbs and making whooshing sounds as they pretend to fly. Those who cannot run instead ride special drones, belted and barred and double-checked for safety, which gently bounce them into the air. It’s only a few feet, though it feels like the height of the sky.”
N.K. Jemisin, How Long 'til Black Future Month?

“Putting these conclusions together, this controlling insight can serve as the One Thing you need to know about happy marriage: Find the most generous explanation for each other’s behavior and believe it.”
Marcus Buckingham, The One Thing You Need to Know: ... About Great Managing, Great Leading, and Sustained Individual Success
