Susan  Rowland
“Mary tried to look reassuring. “It’s a house party, he said,” she directed at the Falconers, “Sir Viktor’s holding a house party for the convenience of the police. It’s like an old-fashioned mystery novel.”
Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds

“Make no mistake: You will be challenged at some point in time. We all are. That’s just life.”
Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

Rebecca Harlem
“The face that was engulfed in sadness just a few moments ago was now having a diabolical glow.”
Rebecca Harlem, The Pink Cadillac

Tom Hillman
“Before going to breakfast, you are in your
room experiencing the gongs of a classic religious
bell, a unique and cuddly invitation to the morning meditation session. In ten minutes it will be 7:00 a.m.—dawn’s brisk reminder that life will never be easy. Mornings are a bit cruel.”
Tom Hillman, Digging for God

Stephen Crane
“As he rounded a hillock, he perceived that the roadway was now a crying mass of wagons, teams, and men. From the heaving tangle issued exhortations, commands, imprecations. Fear was sweeping it all along. The cracking whips bit and horses plunged and tugged. The white-topped wagons strained and stumbled in their exertions like fat sheep. The youth felt comforted in a measure by this sight. They were all retreating. Perhaps, then, he was not so bad after all. He seated himself and watched the terror-stricken wagons. They fled like soft, ungainly animals.”
Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage [Adaptation]
