John Gunther
“I wish we had loved Johnny more when he was alive. Of course we loved Johnny very much. Johnny knew that. Everybody knew it. Loving Johnny more. What does it mean, now?

Parents all over the earth who lost sons in the war have felt this kind of question, and sought an answer. To me, it means loving life more, being more aware of life, of one's fellow human beings, of the earth.

It means obliterating, in a curious but real way, the ideas of evil and hate and the enemy, and transmuting them, with the alchemy of suffering, into ideas of clarity and charity.

It means caring more and more about other people, at home and abroad, all over the earth. It means caring more about God.”
John Gunther, Death Be Not Proud

Guy  Morris
“For some, the path to enlightenment leads to a revelation; for others, it ends with a slide into insanity.”
Guy Morris, The Last Ark: Lost Secrets of Qumran

H. Meadow Hopewell
“Worldly distractions numb our ability to see things happening in the supernatural realm.”
H. Meadow Hopewell, Rage Against the Machine

“Time was being stripped from her one second at a time.”
D.L. Maddox, The Dog Walker: The Prequel

Gary Clemenceau
“Before and behind me, nothing but infernal things were made and sold, and I endured inbetween, infernally.”
Gary Clemenceau, Banker's Holiday: A Novel of Fiscal Irregularity
