    “The early women rise before I do. Their lamps splinter the gloom of the kitchens. They chatter in whispers as they brew tea for the cooks. Windows are open to counter the heat of the ovens. Outside, the sky is as black as my soul.”
    K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

    Jody    Summers
    “An interesting note to this novel is the fact that not only are a number
    of the experiences related herein ones to which I am intimately familiar,
    one is particularly unusual.
    I wracked my brain for quite some time to come up with a suitable
    near-death experience to use in the opening scene. As it turns out I had
    an “AHA” moment, or more appropriately a “DUH” moment when it
    occurred to me that I had actually survived the perfect experience to use.
    As a result, the first scene and the near-death experience described here
    was drawn, almost in its entirety from my OWN life, and I still retain
    the scar.
    I guess sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.”
    Jody Summers, The Mayan Legacy

    “How do we keep it?” asked Princess Sophie. “How do we keep the spirit of Christmas?”

    Mike Martin, Princess Sophie and the Christmas Elixir

    Alan    Bradley
    “Look around! Look what we’ve done to the world. We fucked everything up. In a few years it’s going to be unlivable. We don’t deserve to be stewards of this planet. And that pales to the things we do to each other. We’re monsters, Sander, and someone needs to end it.”
    Alan Bradley, The Sixth Borough

    “I haven’t got a clue why his bones disintegrated, but look at the bright side,” laughed Adam. “We won’t have to dispose of the body. I’ll get a pan and brush in a minute and flush him down the toilet.”

    Eric Schlosser
    “Nineteen members of an Army detachment were arrested on pot charges at a Nike Hercules base on Mount Gleason, overlooking Los Angeles. One of them had been caught drying a large amount of marijuana on land belonging to the U.S. Forest Service. Three enlisted men at a Nike Hercules base in San Rafael, California, were removed from guard duty for psychiatric reasons. One of them had been charged with pointing a loaded rifle at the head of a sergeant. Although illegal drugs were not involved in the case, the three men were allowed to guard the missiles, despite a history of psychiatric problems. The squadron was understaffed, and its commander feared that hippies—“people from the Haight-Ashbury”—were trying to steal nuclear weapons.”

    Diana Wynne Jones
    “I think we ought to live happily ever after," and she thought he meant it. Sophie knew that living happily ever after with Howl would be a good deal more hair-raising than any storybook made it sound, though she was determined to try. "It should be hair-raising," added Howl.
    "And you'll exploit me," Sophie said.
    "And then you'll cut up all my suits to teach me.”
    Diana Wynne Jones, Howl’s Moving Castle

    Italo Calvino
    “A human being becomes human not through the casual convergence of certain biological conditions, but through an act of will and love on the part of other people. If this is not the case, then humanity becomes — as it is already to a large extent — no more than a rabbit-warren. But this is no longer a “free-range” warren but a “battery” one, in the conditions of artificiality in which it lives, with artificial light and chemical feed.”
    Italo Calvino, Italo Calvino: Letters, 1941-1985 - Updated Edition
