Madeleine L'Engle
“Meg felt cold and pulled her battered quilt around her shoulders. She remembered Mrs. O'Keefe calling on all Heaven with its power, and though shudderingly that she would settle for one large, loving dog.”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Swiftly Tilting Planet

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Son--they say there isn't any royalty in this country, but do you want me to tell you how to be king of the United States? Just fall through the hole in a privy and come out smelling like a rose.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., The Sirens of Titan

John Irving
“There was the human body, which was so clearly designed to want babies--and then there was the human mind, which was so confused about the matter. Sometimes the mind didn't want the babies, but sometimes the mind was so perverse that it made other people have babies they knew they didn't want. For whom was this insisting done? Dr. Larch wondered. For whom did some minds insist that babies, even clearly unwanted ones, must be brought, screaming, into the world?”
John Irving, The Cider House Rules

Joanna Baillie
“...Tell it, I pray thee.
And let me cow'ring stand, and be my touch
The valley's ice: there is a pleasure in it.
Yea, when the cold blood shoots through every vein;
When every pore upon my shrunken skin
A knotted knoll becomes, and to mine ears
Strange inward sounds awake, and to mine eyes
Rush stranger tears, there is a joy in fear.”
Joanna Baillie, Orra

Wole Soyinka
“Failure thus to examine ourselves limits the long-term effectiveness of response, and brackets us with the mentality of the fanatic who, literally, never seeks to recover, indeed is incapable of recovering, a long-since receded moment of doubt, the zone of possible choices, the potential of the routes not taken.”
Wole Soyinka, Climate of Fear: The Quest for Dignity in a Dehumanized World
