Stephen  King
“Reality is thin ice, but most people skate on it their whole lives and never fall through until the very end. We did fall through, but we helped each other out. We’re still helping each other.”
Stephen King, The Outsider

Jonathan Hickman
“The things that divide us are stronger than the things that unite us.”
Jonathan Hickman, East of West, Vol. 1: The Promise

Richard Branson
“Business isn't about ties, suits and briefcases. It's about adventure.”
Richard Branson

Michael Cisco
“So much strain and muscular labor involved in absorbing food. I’m exhausted just watching it. But above all there is speech, incessant speaking, where the inflated edges of the tube are stretched and contracted, knotted and unknotted, ripped open or pressed shut, flued and drummed, hammered and gnawed. Licked. That tube has two ends. To the far end goes all ignominy, and to the fore end all the glory, hymns of praise. Her lips were lovely. The swollen ring at one end of the tube, fastened to rings and riggings of muscle. All these sounds. It’s exhausting. I notice the upper jaw doesn’t move at all, only the lower. You see the skull so clearly I wonder people don’t think of death whenever they witness speech, or speak themselves, feeling that hinge flap up and down, and even back and forth a bit—how can it go back and forth? Is the socket that loose, or is it something else, like a leather hinge, like a book binding?”
Michael Cisco, The Narrator

Marc Hartzman
“had I been able to speak, it would have afforded me a chance to help him understand God’s ways and set him on a proper path. Instead, I rested upon the man’s cold, dry hand; his blasphemy had invited a thin layer of death to creep upon him. For it was clear that a part of his soul was already dead.”
Marc Hartzman, The Embalmed Head of Oliver Cromwell: A Memoir
