“If the onset of wrinkles in middle age were referred to as laughter lines, then to look at him, Scott thought, Twinkle's life must have been hilarious. He had sharp eyes that often seemed to visually contradict the lack of intelligence that could be derived from listening to him talk. There might not be a lot to respect in Twinkle, but Scott liked him. He just didn't want to end up like him.”
― R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

“Stand in the machine there, let’s see what state your internal organs are in. The images will be projected on screen, and I can go through the diagnosis with you, step by step.” Brown did as he was told and soon images of his vital organs appeared on the screen.  As you can see, your heart is slightly enlarged and your lungs and kidneys are not in good shape either. Have you been experiencing any pain lately?” “Not that I can think of. What can you do to help?” “Difficult to say, you see you are dying” said the Doctor. You can see the discolouration in your kidneys.” Brown strained his eyes.”

“To Ruth, at first, the Japanese words were unintelligible, like one of the sinister magic spells, spoken in Hawaiian, in the ghost stories Maile used to tell. But over the next four months, Ruth's six-year-old brain soaked up both the English alphabet and the Chinese kanji characters as a sea sponge absorbs water, and within four months she was able to join in reciting the kokun and understood it to mean:

Let us become worthy individuals.
Let us study together in a friendly atmosphere.
Let us take care of our health by eating properly.
Let us be good to our parents.”
― Alan Brennert, Daughter of Moloka'i

“[Ana] “You’re a sadist?”
“I’m a Dominant.” His eyes are a scorching gray, intense.
“What does that mean?” I whisper.
“It means I want you to willingly surrender yourself to me, in all things.”
I frown at him as I try to assimilate this idea.
“Why would I do that?”
“To please me,” he whispers as he cocks his head to one side, and I see a ghost of a smile.
Please him! He wants me to please him! I think my mouth drops open. Please Christian Grey. And I realize, in that moment, that yes, that’s exactly what I want to do. I want him to be damned delighted with me. It’s a revelation.”
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

“The opposite of racism is antiracism, of course, or what we might call racial idealism or equalitarianism, and it is still not clear whether it will prevail. In this struggle, our history textbooks offer little help. Just as they underplay white racism, they also neglect racial idealism. In doing so, they deprive students of potential role models to call upon as they try to bridge the new fault lines that will spread out in the future from the great rift in our past.”
