John Steinbeck
“To find not only that this bedlam of color was true but that the pictures were pale and inaccurate translations, was to me startling. I can't even imagine the forest colors when I am not seeing them. I wondered whether constant association could cause inattention, and asked a native New Hampshire woman about it.

Abraham Verghese
“Tell us please, what treatment in an emergency is administered by ear?"....I met his gaze and I did not blink. "Words of comfort," I said to my father.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

John Steinbeck
“But from the start I had withheld from him any information about the giant redwoods.

John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

Erin Morgenstern
“Most maidens are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves in my experience, at least the ones worth something, in any case.”
