Osamu Dazai
“This I want to believe implicitly: Man was born for love and revolution.”
Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun

Robert L. O'Connell
“About the best that can be done is to try to place oneself in a position to get lucky. Nothing is certain, but shrewd, well-informed planning, a determined use of every possible advantage, and a continuous awareness and acceptance of an ever-shifting environment can raise the odds.”
Robert L. O'Connell, Fierce Patriot: The Tangled Lives of William Tecumseh Sherman

Robert L. O'Connell
“There is an undeniably daffy aspect to Sherman. Calling him a motormouth understates the case: he was a veritable volcano of verbiage, as borne out by a mountain of letters, memoranda, and other official papers, not to mention the uniformly gabby impression he left among contemporaries. If there were a contest for who spoke the most words in a lifetime, Sherman would have been a finalist—he lived a long time and slept very little; otherwise he was talking. He said exactly what was on his mind at that instant, until his quicksilver brain turned to an entirely different matter, then to a third, and perhaps to a fourth, then back to the first—unceasing—spewing orders, analysis, advice, and anecdotes in a random pattern that often left listeners stunned and amazed. One prominent Civil War historian, Gary Gallagher, described Sherman as lacking cognitive filters. It all came out. And this is a real problem in trying to resurrect the man’s nature.”
Robert L. O'Connell, Fierce Patriot: The Tangled Lives of William Tecumseh Sherman

Rick Riordan
“We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again.”
Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

E.A. Bucchianeri
“So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly
