Robert K. Massie
“Don't worry. Don't worry. The Devil does none of these things. He neither smokes nor drinks nor engages in revelry, and yet he is The Devil.

--Father Vasiliev, confessor to the Russian Imperial Family”
Robert K. Massie, Nicholas and Alexandra: The Classic Account of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty

Stephen  King
“No bounce, no play.”
Stephen King, Dreamcatcher

Henry Miller
“A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition.”
Henry Miller, The Books in My Life

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Every cup that passes through a single person and eventually rejoins the world’s water supply holds enough molecules to mix 1,500 of them into every other cup of water in the world. No way around it: some of the water you just drank passed through the kidneys of Socrates, Genghis Khan, and Joan of Arc.

How about air? Also vital. A single breathful draws in more air molecules than there are breathfuls of air in Earth’s entire atmosphere. That means some of the air you just breathed passed through the lungs of Napoleon, Beethoven, Lincoln, and Billy the Kid.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

George R.R. Martin
“I will not eat Craster’s food, he decided suddenly. “I broke my fast with the men, my lord.” Jon shooed the raven off Longclaw. The bird hopped back to Mormont’s shoulder, where it promptly shat. “You might have done that on Snow instead of saving it for me,” the Old Bear grumbled. The raven quorked.”
George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
