John Rachel
The optimism was like the sun after a long spell of clouds and rain, a euphoric rush which produced both envy and awe in anyone who had become jaded, resigned, who had given up on their dreams.
John Rachel, Love Connection: Romance in the Land of the Rising Sun

John Rachel
It was the fundamental bifurcation of the masses of human meat into two starkly opposite classes: the haves and the have-nots. The have-nots had barely anything. The haves had it all. The haves had everything except concern and compassion for the have-nots, who they regarded as little more than cockroaches.
John Rachel, Love Connection: Romance in the Land of the Rising Sun
