John Rachel
“As an orangutan cannot embrace higher mathematics or comprehend the architecture and operation of a computer, we humans __ so good at loudly proclaiming our intelligence and applauding our own doltish displays of cerebral gymnastics __ cannot begin to understand the true structure and functioning of the Universe.”
John Rachel, 12-12-12

K.  Ritz
“It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation. It is true that desires of the moment can blind one’s sight of the future. Revenge is not as sweet as the adage claims. Yet who could pass a chance to taste it? And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Nancy Omeara
“Written twenty years after she held office, this abridged biography is being released now, prior to taking place.

Maybe we can learn from history before it happens.”
Nancy Omeara, The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]

“What the American people didn’t know was how aggressive the government was in protecting our defenses and creating weapons. FDR had already secretly approved the Manhattan Project to build an atomic bomb. And the government saw the waterfront as vital to our defenses. They feared that spies or other saboteurs would infiltrate the docks and interrupt the shipments of supplies or somehow obtain vital information about America’s secrets. They made a deal with the Mafia, specifically gangster Charles “Lucky” Luciano.”
A.G. Russo, The Cases Nobody Wanted

“When writers stop believing in their own stories, readers tend to sense it.”
