Diana Wynne Jones
“It was time for a strong-minded woman to take charge. Abdullah was quite glad that Sophie was one.”
Diana Wynne Jones, Castle in the Air

Bruce Catton
“The end of the war was like the beginning, with the army marching down the open road under the spring sky, seeing a far light on the horizon. Many lights had died in the windy dark but far down the road there was always a gleam, and it was as if a legend had been created to express some obscure truth that could not otherwise be stated. Everything had changed, the war and the men and the land they fought for, but the road ahead had not changed. It went on through the trees and past the little towns and over the hills, and there was no getting to the end of it. The goal was a going-towards rather than an arriving, and from the top of the next rise there was always a new vista. The march toward it led through wonder and terror and deep shadows, and the sunlight touched the flags at the head of the column.”
Bruce Catton, A Stillness at Appomattox

Ursula Vernon
“Is your mom afraid something will happen to you?”
“I,” said Harriet, with absolute confidence, “am something that happens to OTHER people.”
Ursula Vernon, Whiskerella

T. Kingfisher
“(Potatoes were, for some reason, more prone to fits of random magic than most vegetables. It would take a remarkable magic to affect turnips or kale. No one bothered planting eggplants—they would run into the woods or fly away on leafy kites the instant your back was turned.)”
T. Kingfisher, The Seventh Bride

Barbara W. Tuchman
“In individuals as in nations, contentment is silent, which tends to unbalance the historical record.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century
