Amy L.  Bernstein
“Moments from their life together flickered: their first time making love. Eating pizza on the floor of their city apartment. The way he gently laid his thumb to still her wildly twitching eye. Who was he now? Who was she? What was happening? … Yes, my partner is a thief. A thief in the night.”
Amy L. Bernstein, The Potrero Complex

G.K. Chesterton
“Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.”
G.K. Chesterton
