Junot Díaz
“Sadness at being caught, at the incontrovertibe knowledge that she will never forgive you.”
Junot Díaz, This Is How You Lose Her

Barbara W. Tuchman
“No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard and fast and specific decision.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, The Guns of August

Elizabeth Tebby Germaine
“The Japs,” said one Indian, “have reduced Mandalay to ashes, and their bombers are operating all over the country. They are a barbarous foe and have butchered many of their prisoners.”
Elizabeth Tebby Germaine, EXTRAORDINARY TRUE STORIES OF SURVIVAL IN BURMA WW2: tens of thousands fled to India from the Japanese Invasion in 1942

William Gibson
“Hollis thought he looked like William Burroughs, minus the bohemian substrate (or perhaps the methadone). Like someone who'd be invited quail shooting with the vice-president, though too careful to get himself shot.”
William Gibson, Spook Country
