“Serene was a word you could put to Brooklyn New York. Especially in the summer of 1912. Somber as a word was better. But it did not apply to Williamsburg Brooklyn. Prairie was lovely and Shenandoah had a beautiful sound but you couldn't fit those words into Brooklyn. Serene was the only word for it especially on a Saturday afternoon in summer.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“I feel like Cinderella sitting in the middle of the road with a pumpkin and a couple of mice, while Prince Charming charges off to rescue some other chick.”
― Cynthia Hand, Unearthly

“I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.”

― Christina Dodd, Storm of Shadows
