Robin Hobb
“He wants to be the leader of the dragon keepers, so he just asks as if he is. And hopes everyone will fall into line. It's so infuriating that some of them do. The truth is no one was put in charge among us. We're all free to do our own jobs. But Greft is very good at causing discord among those who refuse to concede to him. Like Tats and Me. Usually Tats and I get along very well. Then Greft came along and he just seems to enjoy making trouble and maniupating people. Sometimes it seems if he can't force us to do what he wants he focuses on making us as miserable as possible.”
Robin Hobb, The Dragon Keeper

Laini Taylor
“Tools?" scoffed Kalisti, "Tools are for people who have nothing better to do than think things through and make sensible plans.”
Laini Taylor, Muse of Nightmares

Mishell Baker
“Here’s the thing, Brian. From across the room, I’ll admit death looks like a real babe. But I’ve been close enough to see what’s under her makeup, and no thanks. Really.”
Mishell Baker, Borderline

Laini Taylor
“And that's how you go on. You lay laughter over the dark parts. The more dark parts, the more you have to laugh. With defiance, with abandon, with hysteria, any way you can.”
Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Another often-asked question when I speak in public: “Do you have some good advice you might share with us?” Yes, I do. It comes from my savvy mother-in-law, advice she gave me on my wedding day. “In every good marriage,” she counseled, “it helps sometimes to be a little deaf.” I have followed that advice assiduously, and not only at home through fifty-six years of a marital partnership nonpareil. I have employed it as well in every workplace, including the Supreme Court of the United States. When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out. Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one’s ability to persuade.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, My Own Words
