Therisa Peimer
“Her husband's visage captivated her from the first moment she saw him step out of the royal carriage a hundred years ago. How could it not? Flaminius was utterly gorgeous. But once she fell in love with him, she became happily enslaved.”
Therisa Peimer, Taming Flame

Ransom Riggs
“Sometimes I can’t decide whether you’re completely mad or some sort of miracle,”
Ransom Riggs, Hollow City

Wallace Stegner
“I tell him I am proud of his genius for construction, but he says he has no genius for anything, he just never knows when he is beaten.”
Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose

Susan  Rowland
“You can’t set fires, Anna. Never again. Promise.”
[Anna] aimed her defiance at Mary.
“And you? What’s your reason to hate me?”
Caroline spoke quietly. “We nearly died — in the fire in those mountains and at the house when Ravi had a gun pointed at us.” Her eyes were full of tears. “The fire you set at The Old Hospital could have killed me as well as Janet and Agnes.”
Anna muttered into the syrupy dregs of her tea. “Fire, you’re firing me?”
Mary grimaced. There had been too much fire.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

Sherman Alexie
“Choice: that was the thing. Other people claimed that you can't choose who you love--it just happens!--but Grace and Roman knew that was a bunch of happy horseshit. Of course you chose who you loved. If you didn't choose, you ended up with what was left--the drunks and abusers, the debtors and vacuums, the ones who ate their food too fast or had never read a novel. Damn, marriage was hard work, was manual labor, and unpaid manual labor at that. Yet, year after year, Grace and Roman had pressed their shoulders against the stone and rolled it up the hill together.”
Sherman Alexie, The Toughest Indian in the World
