Abraham   Verghese
“Life, too, is like that. You live it forward, but understand it backward." from CUTTING FOR STONE”
Abraham Verghese

Abraham   Verghese
“The crookedness of the serpent is still straight enough to slide through the snake hole.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Laura Hillenbrand
“But for all its miseries, there was an unmistakable allure to the jockey's craft... Man is preoccupied with freedom yet laden with handicaps. The breadth of his activity and experience is narrowed by the limitations of his relative weak, sluggish body. The racehorse, by virtue of his awesome physical gifts, freed the jockey from himself. When a horse and a jockey flew over the tack together, there were moments in which the man's mind wedded itself to the animal's body to form something greater than the sum of both parts. The horse partook of the jockey's cunning; the jockey partook of the horse's supreme power. For the jockey, the saddle was a place of unparalled exhilaration, of transcendence.”
Laura Hillenbrand

Abraham   Verghese
“Yesterday misspent can't be recall'd
Vanity makes beauty contemptible
Wisdom is more valuable than riches.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Janet Evanovich
“Connie, giving her thoughts on why Vinnie's hot temper is less than normal, says: "Lucille must have fed him a Vallium smoothie this morning.”
Janet Evanovich, Explosive Eighteen
