Leif Enger, Peace Like a River

Cormac McCarthy
“He knew only that his child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Alan Paton
“The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again.”
Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Where there's life there's hope.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

Alan Paton

Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country
