Patrick O'Brian
“They played, not beautifully but deep, ignoring their often discordant strings and striking right into the heart of the music they knew best, the true notes acting as their milestones. On the poop above their heads, where the weary helmsmen tended the new steering-oar and Babbington stood at the con, the men listened intently; it was the first sound of human life that they had heard, apart from the brief Christmas merriment, for a time they could scarcely measure.”
Patrick O'Brian, Desolation Island

Clive Cussler
“To those of you who seek lost objects of history, I wish you the best of luck. They're out there, and they're whispering.”
Clive Cussler, The Sea Hunters

Cordwainer Smith
“There is no time for fear. It's much too interesting.”
Cordwainer Smith, The Rediscovery of Man

Andre Norton
“As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.”
Andre Norton

Alistair MacLean

Alistair MacLean, Where Eagles Dare
