“She didn't know then that life has a way of backing you into a corner. You make your choices when you're far too young to understand their implications, and with each choice you make the field of possibility narrows. You choose a career and other careers are lost to you. You choose a mate and commit to loving no other.”
― A.S.A. Harrison, The Silent Wife

“Do your bit to save humanity from lapsing back into barbarity by reading all the novels you can.”

“Cities are never random.
No matter how chaotic they might seem, everything about them grows out of a need to solve a problem. In fact, a city is nothing more than a solution to a problem, that in turn creates more problems that need more solutions, until towers rise, roads widen, bridges are built, and millions of people are caught up in a mad race to feed the problem-solving, problem-creating frenzy.”
― Neal Shusterman, Downsiders

“We'd get sick on too many cookies, but ever so much sicker on no cookies at all.”
― Sinclair Lewis
