― R.R. Haywood, The Undead: Day Sixteen. The Seminal British Zombie-Not-Zombie Apocalypse Series: Day Sixteen. Season Three

“As long as I was rattled, I needed rattles in my dash to help me heal. But when my thoughts were healed, the rattles were no longer needed.”
― Debra Landwehr Engle, The Only Little Prayer You Need: The Shortest Route to a Life of Joy, Abundance, and Peace of Mind
