T.H. White
“This knight’s trouble from his childhood—which he never completely grew out of—was that for him God was a real person.”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King

Sarah Perry
“Then what do you believe now?” She laughed, and saw his responding gleam, and was grateful. “If I wake up convinced there’s no God,” she said, “I’ll find him by lunchtime. But if I go to bed and pray for the salvation of my soul, I’ll know I’ve got no soul to save by breakfast.”
Sarah Perry, Enlightenment

Simone de Beauvoir
“The characteristic feature of all ethics is to consider human life as a game that can be won or lost and to teach man the means of winning.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity

N.K. Jemisin
“Syl Anagist's assimilation of the world had been over a century before I was ever made; all cities were Syl Anagist. All languages had become Sylanagistine. But there were none so frightened, or so strange in their fear, as conquerors.

Conquerors live in dread of the day when they are shown to be, not superior, but simply lucky.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Stone Sky

Amor Towles
“When he was halfway to the church, the twister appeared in the distance at two o’clock, a dark black finger reaching down from the sky—the inversion of the steeple both in color and intent.”
Amor Towles, The Lincoln Highway
