Nikos Kazantzakis
“إنهم يسألونني "لم تضحك , أيها الصديق؟ " . لكن كيف أشرح لهم ؟ انني أضحك لأنني في اللحظة التي أمد يدي فيها لأرى إذا كانت الحبال الحديدية جيدة , أفكر فجأة في ماهية الإنسان , وفي السبب الذي جاء من أجله إلى العالم , وفي الفائدة المرتجاة منه”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

Andy Weir
“With today's work, I'm about one-fourth of the way through the whole cut. At least, one-fourth of the way through the drilling. Then I'll have 759 little chunks to chisel out. And I'm not sure how well carbon composite is going to take that. But NASA'll do it a thousand times back on Earth and tell me the best way to get it done.”
Andy Weir, The Martian

Barbara Kingsolver
“Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Homeland and Other Stories

Alice Walker
“You are saying, are you not, I said to Manuelito, that stories have more room in them than ideas? [...] He laughed. That is correct, Señor. It is as if ideas are made of blocks. Rigid and hard. And stories are made of a gauze that is elastic. You can almost see through it, so what is beyond is tantalizing. You can't quite make it out; and because the imagination is always moving forward, you yourself are constantly stretching. Stories are the way spirit is exercised.”
Alice Walker, By the Light of My Father's Smile

“I am Abhorsen..."
He looked at the baby again and added, almost with a note of surprise, "Father of Sabriel”
Garth Nix, Sabriel
