Truman Capote
“You exist in a half-world suspended between two superstructures, one self-expression and the other self-destruction. You are strong, but there is a flaw in your strength, and unless you can learn how to control it the flaw will prove stronger than your strength and defeat you.”
Truman Capote, In Cold Blood

Sara Pascoe
“It is weird that the same two parents can come together and make two such different people.”
Sara Pascoe, Weirdo: 'Intense, also BRILLIANT, funny and forensically astute.' Marian Keyes

“We’re leaving together But still it’s farewell And maybe we’ll come back To Earth, who can tell I guess there is no one to blame We’re leaving ground Will things ever be the same again? It’s the final countdown. . . .”
R.J. Palacio, Pluto: A Wonder Story

Max Nowaz
“Being magnanimous in victory usually worked, but to keep abreast of the situation he had to 
pump the girl for all she knew. Was there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind? 
Possibly, but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for weakness.”
Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

Yvonne Korshak
“Running out the anchor line, the pirates babbled to one another, and in the tangle of their barbaric language, Aspasia listened for one word—Athens. It lit up the darkness in her mind, like the single glint her eyes fixed on above the distant gray-green hills.”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece
