Yevgeny Zamyatin
“For one second I stared at her like all the others as something that had dropped out of nowhere: She was no longer a number, she was simply a person; she existed as nothing more than the metaphysical substance of the insult committed against OneState. But then some one of her movements-turning, she twisted her hips to the left-and all at once I knew: I know her, I know that body resilient as a ship-my eyes, my lips, my hands know it-in one moment I was absolutely sure of it.”
Yevgeny Zamyatin, We

Tim LaHaye
“Dear God, I know I am a sinner. Forgive me and pardon me for waiting so long. I receive your love and salvation and ask you to live your life through me. I accept you as my Savior and resolve to live for you until you come again.”
Tim LaHaye, The Left Behind Complete Set, Series 1-12

“If I am in love, many things about the world, not just the immediate object of my love, seem lovable. To say 'I love X' is somehow really to say 'X inspires love in me', and that love then attaches itself to objects other than X as well. The expansiveness of love is a natural means of ascent between levels.”
Robin Waterfield

Diana Wynne Jones
“SAGE. A wise and Holy man who died a long time ago. No one modern qualifies.”
Diana Wynne Jones, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland

Jeffrey Eugenides
“And in some of the houses, people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve. It was happening all the time, unnoticed, and it was the thing that really mattered. What really mattered in life, what gave it weight, was death.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex
