C. Toni Graham
“Time was not on their side, it was the enemy.”
C. Toni Graham, Crossroads and the Himalayan Crystals

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“I watched her undress with moonlight shivering across the room from behind sheer curtains that moved with the currents from the hearth fire.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Death Leaves a Shadow

Sara Pascoe
“Like water around rocks, people streamed around them as though this sort of interaction, noisy and involving foreigners, was nothing unusual.”
Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For

Vladimir Nabokov
“Readers are not sheep, and not every pen tempts them.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature

Bryce Courtenay
“As is so often the case with a legend, every incident has two possible interpretations, the plausible and the one that is molded to suit the making of the myth. Man is a romantic at heart and will always put aside dull, plodding reason for the excitement of an enigma. As Doc had pointed out, mystery, not logic, is what gives us hope and keeps us believing in a force greater than our own insignificance.”
Bryce Courtenay, The Power of One
