“I believe there is a great deal too much mutual confession going on today, as if sharing one’s problems somehow makes them go away. All it really does, of course, is increase the number of people who have to worry about a particular issue.”
― Helen Simonson, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

“Things... well, things suck sometimes. And sometimes you can fix it. And sometimes you can't. It's just the way it is.”
― Elizabeth Scott, Stealing Heaven

“I believe in trees. I can touch them. And they have true names. They do not change in terms of what they are to me.”
― Ned Hayes, The Eagle Tree

“With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence. It was an old song, old as the breed itself—one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.”
― Jack London, The Call of the Wild / White Fang
