    John Payton Foden
    “Stefan, please, get to work.  Take a picture of this.
    You want a photo? Of this?
    War in all its ugliness.  A Pulitzer Prize awaits.
    You want me to document a war crime? Your war crime?
    Yes.  I do.
    You understand they can’t be untaken.
    Proceed.”
    John Payton Foden, Magenta

    William Kely McClung
    “Dancer and Waif sprinted toward the edge. Picking up speed. Bad Ass on his one real leg doing a great job of keeping up. Kind of.”
    William Kely McClung, LOOP

    Dale A. Jenkins
    “Yamamoto sensed a feeling of culmination about the huge success of the first strike, and the same incisive intuition that guided his brilliant moves at the gaming tables told him what the next move on the bridge of Akagi would be. In (Vice Admiral) Nagumo he knew his man. Nagumo had never been committed to the Pearl Harbor mission. He had not been Yamamoto’s choice to command the Striking Force; his assignment was the decision of the Navy Ministry in Tokyo, based on seniority. While the exultation of the officers and sailors on his staff swirled around him, Yamamoto sat quietly. Finally, he fixed a steely gaze on his chief of staff, and in a low, intense voice: “Admiral Nagumo is going to withdraw.”
    Dale A. Jenkins, Diplomats & Admirals: From Failed Negotiations and Tragic Misjudgments to Powerful Leaders and Heroic Deeds, the Untold Story of the Pacific War from Pearl Harbor to Midway

    “Scott's mind was racing, struggling to comprehend the events unfolding around him. They were talking about disposing of Twinkle like he was a rusty old bike that no-one rode anymore.”
    R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

  • #6
    Richard P. Feynman
    “I wouldn’t stop until I figured the damn thing out–it would take me fifteen or twenty minutes. But during the day, other guys would come to me with the same problem, and I’d do it for them in a flash. So for one guy, to do it took me twenty minutes, while there were five guys who thought I was a super-genius.”
    Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

    Janet Fitch
    “She should think about her own soul, what she was going to do with this funky tattered pond dank item. Dark and stained, a ruined thing.”
    Janet Fitch, Paint it Black

  • #8
    Pablo Neruda
    “Girl lithe and tawny, the sun that forms
    the fruits, that plumps the grains, that curls seaweeds
    filled your body with joy, and your luminous eyes
    and your mouth that has the smile of the water.

    A black yearning sun is braided into the strands
    of your black mane, when you stretch your arms.
    You play with the sun as with a little brook
    and it leaves two dark pools in your eyes.”
    Pablo Neruda

    K.  Ritz
    “This evening I spied her in the back orchard. I decided to sacrifice one of my better old shirts and carried it out to her. The weather’s been warm of late. Buds on the apple trees are ready to burst. Usually by this time of the year, at that time of day, the back orchard is full of screaming children. Damut’s boys were the only two. They were on the terrace below her, running through the slanted sunlight, chasing each other around tree trunks. She stood above them, like a merlin watching rabbits play.”
    K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

    Michael G. Kramer
    “When speaking to her husband, Isabella replied, Mon tresdoutz coer, (My very sweet heart) please do that and perhaps I shall be able to continue to perform official functions on your behalf!”
    Michael G. Kramer, Isabella Warrior Queen

    Robert         Reid
    “4. Tufle harbour was a hubbub of noise. Carracks and caravels jostled for moorings at the harbour wall. Merchants squabbled over transport to carry their goods to Tamin, either overland, or on the ferries on the Amin River. Sailors bawled at each other to catch a rope or steady a rogue barrel of wine. At one side of the harbour the fishing busses were unloading their catches, drawing excitement from the circling sea birds. In the background to the cacophony in the harbour came the regular thud of hammering, like some strange heartbeat accompanying the harbour’s living noise. The shipyards at Tufle were only a stone’s throw away to the south.”
    Robert Reid, The Empress

    Harold Phifer
    “If a man was around when Aunt Kathy came by, she would berate him and throw him out. I even saw her toss guys out at gunpoint. She’d threaten them and say, “I will shoot you until I can’t see you!” I remember thinking, “How is that possible? That’s a lot of damn shooting!” ”
    Harold Phifer, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar

  • #13
    “You can be a natural athlete with terrible work habits, and that ends up wasting your gifts.”
    Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

  • #14
    Tom Hillman
    “Before going to breakfast, you are in your
room experiencing the gongs of a classic religious
    bell, a unique and cuddly invitation to the morning meditation session. In ten minutes it will be 7:00 a.m.—dawn’s brisk reminder that life will never be easy. Mornings are a bit cruel.”
    Tom Hillman, Digging for God

    Lotchie Burton
    “Everybody has scars, and every scar has a story. Especially the ones you don’t see. Those go deeper. And cause more damage.”
    Lotchie Burton, Gabriel's Fire

    “Your friends and I want you to stay aware of your surroundings, James Ed. These days you cannot anticipate what a disgruntled, former employee might do.”
    Shafter Bailey, James Ed Hoskins and the One-Room Schoolhouse: The Unprosecuted Crime Against Children

    Robyn Mundell
    “Right? I don’t know why I did it. Temporary insanity, maybe. Did you ever do something that makes absolutely no sense, but you couldn’t help yourself?”
    Robyn Mundell, Brainwalker

  • #19
    “In response to be asked about Boris Johnson becoming UK Prime Minister...

    "I'm delighted. As the UK continues to plunge ever faster into a future akin to a dystopian novel I'll never run out of material to write more books. Although now that reality is more bizarre than fiction maybe plot-lines will need to be more ambitious. Perhaps a book where Boris Johnson is really an accidental sentient snafu of Trump's scrotum lint. Kind of a sequel to the Bush-Blair story. I see musical rights being drawn up as we speak.”
    R.D. Ronald

    Barack Obama
    “Through them, I resolved the lingering questions of my racial identity. For it turned out there was no single way to be Black; just trying to be a good man was enough.”
    Barack Obama, A Promised Land

    Fyodor Dostoevsky
    “There are seconds, they come only five or six at a time, and you suddenly feel the presence of eternal harmony, fully achieved. It is nothing earthly; not that it's heavenly, but man cannot endure it in his earthly state. One must change physically or die. The feeling is clear and indisputable. As if you suddenly sense the whole of nature and suddenly say: yes, this is true. God, when he was creating the world, said at the end of each day of creation: 'Yes, this is true, this is good.' This . . . this is not tenderheartedness, but simply joy. You don't forgive anything, because there is no longer anything to forgive. You don't really love — oh, what is here is higher than love! What's most frightening is that it's so terribly clear, and there's such joy. If it were longer than five seconds — the soul couldn't endure it and would vanish. In those five seconds I live my life through, and for them I would give my whole life, because it's worth it. To endure ten seconds one would have to change physically . . . .”
    Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

    “Consider and then act, don't react. A worthy opponent will calculate his move to entice a response from you. Make your own play.”
    R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

    Elizabeth Tebby Germaine
    “A newcomer, a tall bewhiskered Sikh policeman came to see me. ‘Sahib,’ he said in Hindustani, ‘I was lucky to escape from Rangoon when that city was evacuated. I reached Mandalay after many nights hiding and sleeping in the jungle. How I escaped with my life I do not know. From Mandalay I managed to get on a train and eventually found my way here.’ He came a little closer and almost whispered, ‘Sahib, I am staying in the Police Lines. You must let me and my pal guard your bungalow or….’ And he drew his finger
    across his throat. ‘Believe me I have seen many tragedies during the past few weeks.’ I smiled, thanked him and said I would send for him and his pal should I find it necessary. I had many native friends who I knew would be helpful and kind to refugees and I regarded the policeman’s tale as greatly exaggerated. The next day this good man joined the stream of refugees hastening to the frontier
    of India … Captain Gribble”
    Elizabeth Tebby Germaine, EXTRAORDINARY TRUE STORIES OF SURVIVAL IN BURMA WW2: tens of thousands fled to India from the Japanese Invasion in 1942

    “Her name wasn’t Jane. Not legally. But she wore it now like a uniform: plain, practical, invisible.”
    D.L. Maddox, THE DOG WALKER: THE PREQUEL

    Zack Love
    “Oh no. I'm not gonna let you leave yet. I'm gonna show you the value of takin' your time to get to work. I probably should have done this a long time ago.”
    Zack Love, The Doorman

  • #26
    Mary Norton
    “She learned a lot and some of the things she learned were hard to accept. She was made to realize once and for all that this earth on which they lived turning about in space did not revolve, as she had believed, for the sake of little people. “Nor for big people either,” she reminded the boy when she saw his secret smile.”
    Mary Norton, The Borrowers

  • #27
    “In the constitution of the judiciary department in particular, it might be inexpedient to insist rigorously on the principle; first, because peculiar qualifications being essential in the members, the primary consideration ought to be to select that mode of choice, which best secures these qualifications; secondly, because the permanent tenure by which the appointments are held in that department, must soon destroy all sense of dependence on the authority conferring them.”
    Founding Fathers, The Penguin Guide to the United States Constitution: A Fully Annotated Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Amendments, and Selections from The Federalist Papers

    Charles Dickens
    “I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out...”
    Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
