Michael Wyndham Thomas
“After that, nothing was the same. The very notion of my having a family turned vague, hard to credit, even weirdly jokey.”
Michael Wyndham Thomas, The Erkeley Shadows

Philip Gourevitch
“So Rwandan history is dangerous. Like all of history, it is a record of successive struggles for power, and to a very large extent power consists in the ability to make others inhabit your story of their reality - even, as is so often the case, when that story is written in their blood.”
Philip Gourevitch, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families

Susan  Rowland
“Bring me Mother Julian’s Scroll within two weeks, or I’ll get that guttersnipe Leni prosecuted for attempted murder. She won’t survive long in prison.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

Yvonne Korshak
“We had old architects and were working with what we had on hand. You’ve hired this new, young architect now, and, Pericles, I’m going to build you a statue of Athena—all gold and ivory, think of that, Pericles—and taller than our city walls.” Pericles raised his eyes toward the birds.”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

Ami Loper
“Jesus is telling us that redemption is more than having our sins forgiven; it is an intimate relationship He came to restore between us and God. If we are going to live out the first and greatest commandment of loving God completely (Matt. 22:36-37), this is the type of experiential intimacy which ought to be the objective of our lives.”
Ami Loper, Constant Companion: Your Practical Path to Real Interaction with God
