Terry Pratchett
“Mythology's just the folktales of people who won 'cos they had bigger swords”
Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

Rachel Van Dyken
“If God meant for us to carry baggage around, he would have made our skin have little pouches like kangaroos. Or maybe he would have just made it so that each and every one of us were born with huge- ass shoulders to carry the load. Clearly, we weren’t made to carry the weight of the world, kinda makes you wonder why we do it anyway, huh?”
Rachel Van Dyken, Toxic

Michael Marshall
“For the guys in the ring, it was different. They did it for the money, but not only for that. They did it because that's what they did. They weren't looking for a way out. They were looking for a way in, a road back to some place they sensed inside themselves.”
Michael Marshall, The Straw Men

Neil Gaiman
“for a fraction of a moment, my entire childhood felt like a lie: it was as if one of the pillars of belief that my world has been built upon has crumbled”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Victoria Hislop
“Gems were a way of showing your status, and his wife had always been a perfect model for everything he wanted to display.”
Victoria Hislop, The Thread
