James Clavell
“Lend a little and you have a debtor—lend a lot and you have a partner!”
James Clavell, Noble House

James Clavell
“love is like the sea, sometimes calm and sometimes stormy; it’s dangerous, beautiful, death-dealing, life-giving. But never permanent, everchanging.”
James Clavell, Tai-Pan

James Clavell
“If you smile when you lose, then you win in life.”
James Clavell, Tai-Pan

Kristin Hannah
“Lately, though, I find myself thinking about the war and my past, about the people I lost.

Lost.

It makes it sound as if I misplaced my loved ones; perhaps I left them where they don't belong and turned away, too confused to retrace my steps.

They are not lost. Nor are they in a better place. They are gone. As I approach the end of my years, I know that grief, like regret, settles into our DNA and remains forever a part of us.”
Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

James Clavell
“Without trade the world will become what it was once—a hell where only the strongest arm and the heaviest lash was law. The meek will never inherit the earth. Aye, but at least they can be protected by law to live out their lives as they wish.”
James Clavell, Tai-Pan
