“When I was a boy, I passed a homeless man, drunk and begging on a street corner. My father, sensing my disgust, said something I never forgot, that I think of every time I see your face on the news or in the paper- "That man was once someone's little boy.”
― Blake Crouch, Unconditional

“Consider the species known as man. We lie, we cheat, we want what others have and take it; we make war upon each other and the earth; we harvest lives in multitudes. We have mortgaged the planet and spent the cash on trifles. We may have loved, but never well enough. We never truly knew ourselves. We forgot the world; now it has forgotten us. How many years will pass before jealous nature reclaims this place? Before it is as if we never existed at all?”
― Justin Cronin, The City of Mirrors

“I find literary fiction about the Holocaust or any other major world tragedy to be distasteful - nonfiction only, please.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
