Abigail Tucker
“At the Alley Cat Allies conference, I sit through a very technical presentation on Tomahawk trap trip plates, postoperative temperature control, and other TNR mechanics. As the sober PowerPoint concludes, the presenter suddenly flashes a slide of an adorable feline neonate: "And this is my kitten Rex!" she says. The room explodes in squeals. It was a bit like ending a lecture on the war on drugs with a picture of a lit crack pipe—especially since there is actually some evidence that cats, like street drugs, have clinically compromised our minds.”
Abigail Tucker, The Lion in the Living Room: How House Cats Tamed Us and Took Over the World

Joshua Whitehead
“In the digital universe, a punctuated sentence is as powerful a slap as slamming down the landline.”
Joshua Whitehead, Jonny Appleseed

Susan Orlean
“After the 1938 Munich Conference, every book in the Czech language that dealt with geography, biography, or history was confiscated and either burned or mashed into pulp. In Vilnius, Lithuania, the library in the Jewish ghetto was set on fire. A few months later the residents of the ghetto were shipped to concentration camps and gassed, illustrating the truth in German poet Heinrich Heine's warning: "There where one burns books, one in the end burns men.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Marco Polo
“Moreover, no public woman resides inside the city, but all such abide outside in the suburbs. And 'tis wonderful what a vast number of these are for the foreigners; ...”
Marco Polo, The Travels of Marco Polo: The Venetian

Jules Verne
“Here is a preserve of holothurian that a Malay would declare to be unmatched anywhere in the world; there is a cream supplied by the udders of cetaceans, and sugar by the great fucus plants that grow in the North Sea; finally, let me offer you some anemone jam, which is as good as that made from the most tasty fruits.”
Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
