Iain Banks
“The thing is,” he said, “maybe in the same situation, even knowing what I know now, I’d still do the same thing. I’d still tear that Christian bastard’s nails out, get him to talk, find out where the bomb was, hope that the plods got the right street, the right end of it, the right fucking city.” He looked at me with what might have been defiance or even a sort of pleading. “But I’d still insist that I was charged and prosecuted.” He shook his head again. “Don’t you see? You can’t have a state where torture is legal, not for anything. You start saying it’s only for the most serious cases, but that never lasts. It should always be illegal, for everybody, for everything. You might not stop it. Laws against murder don’t stop all murders, do they? But you make sure people don’t even think about it unless it’s a desperate situation, something immediate. And you have to make the torturer pay. In full. There has to be that disincentive, or they’ll all be at it.”
Iain Banks, Transition

Philip Gulley
“We are not to worship the Bible; we are to worship the One the Bible reveals.”
Philip Gulley, If Grace Is True: Why God Will Save Every Person

Iain Banks
“that single embodiment of a world crippled by its legacy of recent cruelties and a self-lacerating worship of the proceeds of selfishness and greed.”
Iain Banks, Transition

Will McIntosh
“Because I don’t really want to fall in love. Nathan is safe because he’s unattainable.”
Will McIntosh, Love Minus Eighty

Richard K. Morgan
“No way. You won’t catch Notley working weekends. Calls it the American disease, working all the hours God sends you.”
Richard K. Morgan, Market Forces: A Novel
