Socrates
“Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.”
― Socrates

W.E.B. Du Bois
“The price of repression is greater than the cost of liberty. The degradation of men costs something both to the degraded and those who degrade.”
― W.E.B. Du Bois, John Brown

Mitchell Waldman
“Sidney Hellman doesn't remember who he was the last time around, if there was a last time. But how can he? None of us do.

Still, there are clues.

For instance, he starts seeing things. Images of events from another life. Terrible images."

--From the story "The Monster Inside," included in BROTHERS, FATHERS, AND OTHER STRANGERS, the new story collection by Mitchell Waldman”
― Mitchell Waldman

Ellie Midwood
“I looked at him. He sat in the darkness, with his brows knitted tightly together, as though trying to grasp something, to understand the inconceivable, to pinpoint the moment when everything suddenly got out of control and the point of no return was officially passed by both sides – the future murderers and their victims. The new Reich sorted us into two kinds and now he suddenly found himself among those who held an ax above our miserable heads.”
― Ellie Midwood, No Woman's Land

Philip Kerr
“But nothing surprises me now. I’ve grown used to living in a world that is out of joint, as if it has been struck by an enormous earthquake so that the roads are no longer flat, nor the building straight.”
― Philip Kerr, March Violets
