Sun Tzu
“15. In war, practice dissimulation, and you will succeed.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Chris, soap people are like
us-they seldom go outdoors. And when they do, we only hear about it,
never see it. They loll about in living rooms, bedrooms, sit in the
kitchens and sip coffee or stand up and drink martinis-but never, never
go outside before our eyes. And whenever something good happens,
whenever they think they're finally going to be happy, some catastrophe
comes along to dash their hopes.”
V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

Susanna Kaysen
“Nothing," I said. "It's quiet. It's like― I don't know. It's like falling off a cliff." I laughed. "I guess my life will just stop when I get married."
It didn't. It wasn't quiet either. And in the end, I lost him. I did it on purpose, the way Garance lost Baptiste in the crowd. I needed to be alone, I felt. I wanted to be going on alone to my future.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Mark Kurlansky
“Mohandas’s marriage, which was arranged when he was thirteen, lasted for the next sixty-two years. Despite his enduring reputation for living a life of simplicity and self-denial, he did not come to this easily and struggled in his youth with uncontrolled appetites, both sexual and gastronomic. In violation of his family’s religious code, he experimented with meat eating, hoping it would make him large and strong like the carnivorous English.”
Mark Kurlansky, Salt: A World History

Sherman Alexie
“He could see his uncles slugging each other with such force that they had to be in love. Strangers would never want to hurt each other that badly.”
Sherman Alexie, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
