“In many ways, revenge is much like an extramarital affair.
It never just “happens.” Nobody cheats without having fantasized
about it in advance, without having savored the idea.
Revenge, like seduction, is a process. It is a game of inches.”

“The first snow sifted down silently during the night. Ayla exclaimed with delight when she stepped out of her cave in the morning. A pristine whiteness softened the contours of the familiar landscape creating a magical dreamland of fantastic shapes and mythical plants. Bushes had top hats of soft snow, conifers were dressed in new gowns of white finery, and bare exposed limbs were clothed in shining coats that outlined each twig against the deep blue sky.”
― Jean M. Auel, The Clan of the Cave Bear

“Nelson-Rees had since been hired by the National Cancer Institute to help stop the contamination problem. He would become known as a vigilante who published “HeLa Hit Lists” in Science, listing any contaminated lines he found, along with the names of researchers who’d given him the cells. He didn’t warn researchers when he found that their cells had been contaminated with HeLa; he just published their names, the equivalent of having a scarlet H pasted on your lab door.”
― Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
