“You are a full human being. It's never as simple as being half and half.”
― Dean Atta, The Black Flamingo

“Some values can't be gauged. For example, every law-abiding American citizen is too precious to denominate financially. We should never surrender even a single life we could reasonably expect to save.”
― James L. Halperin, The First Immortal: A Novel Of The Future

“Don’t let anyone tell you
that you are half anything.
You and Anna are
simply brother and sister.

Don’t let anyone tell you
that she’s your half sister.

Don’t let anyone tell you
that you are half black
and half white. Half Cypriot
and half Jamaican.

You are a full human
being. It’s never as simple
as being half and half.”
― Dean Atta, The Black Flamingo

“Little girl, your honesty and pluck have made me a friend, and that's rarer than a lover; it's more unselfish anyhow.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula
