James S.A. Corey
“The other Miller was different. Quieter. Sad, maybe, but at peace. He’d read a poem many years before called “The Death-Self,” and he hadn’t understood the term until now. A knot at the middle of his psyche was untying. All the energy he’d put into holding things together—Ceres, his marriage, his career, himself—was coming free. He’d shot and killed more men in the past day than in his whole career as a cop. He’d started—only started—to realize that he’d actually fallen in love with the object of his search after he knew for certain that he’d lost her. He’d seen unequivocally that the chaos he’d dedicated his life to holding at bay was stronger and wider and more powerful than he would ever be. No compromise he could make would be enough. His death-self was unfolding in him, and the dark blooming took no effort. It was a relief, a relaxation, a long, slow exhale after decades of holding it in.”
James S.A. Corey, Leviathan Wakes

William Gibson
“A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he cut in Night City, and he'd still see the matrix in his dreams, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colourless void... The Sprawl was a long, strange way home now over the Pacific, and he was no Console Man, no cyberspace cowboy. Just another hustler, trying to make it through. But the dreams came on in the Japanese night like livewire voodoo, and he'd cry for it, cry in his sleep, and wake alone in the dark, curled in his capsule in some coffin hotel, hands clawed into the bedslab, temper foam bunched between his fingers, trying to reach the console that wasn't there.”
William Gibson, Neuromancer

Max Brooks
“After all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Stephen  King
“And now, all these years later, it seemed to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended.”
Stephen King, Wizard and Glass

Tim Weiner
“Intelligence fails because it is human, no stronger than the power of one mind to understand another. (480)”
Tim Weiner, Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
