David Mitchell
My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?
David Mitchell
A half-read book is a half-finished love affair.
David Mitchell
Travel far enough, you meet yourself.
David Mitchell
Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
David Mitchell
I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
David Mitchell
Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.
David Mitchell
Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.
John Sandford
Hey, people get killed from time to time, that's just the way of the world, let's not bust a budget about it . . .
David Mitchell
Truth is singular. Its 'versions' are mistruths.
David Mitchell
You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
John Sandford
....there are as many nuts on the left as there are on the right, and in the long run, the lefties are probably more dangerous.
David Mitchell
People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
David Mitchell
It's not lies or anything, just truths I made up.
John Sandford
A diplomatic passport for a Tal Zahavi, with a current photo of Yael-1. The same birth date as in the other passport. The interior must have had fifty entry stamps for European and South American countries, plus the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. The woman traveled a lot.
John Sandford
Just about killed ourselves out there in the dark, Carver said. He's gone. Put a few concrete blocks on top of him, just in case. In case of what? Taryn asked, fascinated in spite of herself. Well . . . body gases, Carver said. The ground was a little wet, you wouldn't want him popping up.
John Sandford
The aisles of the Varied Industries building had grown too coagulated, so Marlys led the girl around the building, the girl's legs churning to keep up. They came out directly behind the fire hydrant that they'd planted the night before, separated from it by the dense crowd. Marlys asked a tall man at the back, Do you see them yet?
John Sandford
Murdered? Somebody murdered him?" Palmer was agog. A thin, soft man with a pitted nose and a bald, bumpy egg-shaped head dotted with dime-sized freckles, he was wearing jeans and a T-shirt that said, "NSA, Our Customer Service Pledge: You Talk, We Listen.
John Sandford
You think we could get them around by the pool? Taryn asked. Well, we could, but why would we? Because it looks rich. The point is, if this hurts me, I'll be hurt with the more conservative voters out here, Taryn said. The richer ones. I want to make the point, 'I'm one of you.' I've got the liberals no matter what.
John Sandford
The gun locked open and he slammed another magazine in. As he did it, he either saw or imagined he saw a ripple moving through the cornfield and fired four more shots at it, then stopped, crouched, and stepped sideways across the nose of the truck, saw Robertson facedown in the driveway gravel. He was alive, pushing up with his hands, getting nowhere.
John Sandford
All right. I'll keep it quiet." "Attaboy. This thing is going to work out, Lucas. For us. It really shouldn't matter whether we get the killer this week or in two weeks. What matters right now is to try to square up this election. Let's focus on that: you do what you do, and let me try to get things straight with the voters.
John Sandford
But the laughter was like a water bug on a pond, skating across the surface of his mind. He was amused and he laughed, but nothing was deeply funny; life was simply stupid most of the time.
David Mitchell
So Unlucky Worm Olly is a radio play on Radio 4. And what am I? - You, Hugo, she kisses me on the earlobe, is a dirty low-budget French film that you happen to come across on TV at night. You know you'll regret it in the morning, but you watch it anyway. Down in the yard someone is whistling a forgotten song.
John Sandford
They both knew what they were thinking, though neither said it: Taryn Grant had what it took to be president. She had the business background, she understood economics and finance, she had the money wrapped up, she looked terrific, she had a mind that understood the necessary treacheries: a silken Machiavelli.
David Mitchell
The truth of a myth, Your Honor, is not its words but its patterns. Shiroyama
John Sandford
depression was to be feared-and he could feel it sniffing around outside his door, looking for a way in.
John Sandford
THE DAY WAS PERFECT: low eighties, bluebird sky, the slightest touch of a breeze. If the Minnesota August lasted all year, nobody would live anywhere else.
Liam Callanan
I didn't think, then, that we could ever be closer. I'm not sure anyone can. I'm not sure there is a place closer to someone than being at their side, awake, while they're asleep.
John Sandford
Fuck golf anyway. Stupid goddamn game, chasing a ball around a perfectly good cow pasture.
John Sandford
SCHIFFER WAS LEAVING, Dannon asked Carver to do a serious look around the yard. One of the radar buzzers had been going off, Dannon said, and he hadn't been able to isolate why. "Probably another goddamn skunk," Carver said. He pulled his jacket back on and went to look.
John Sandford
Coyotes don't eat dachshunds," Johnson said. "Dachshunds were bred to go down badger tunnels and drag the badgers out by their ass. A good-sized dachshund could weigh thirty pounds and has jaws like a crocodile. Old Dixie would straight-out fuck up a coyote.
John Sandford
Schiffer recoiled: Oh, Jesus Christ, Taryn, don't give me a heart attack, she said, clutching at her chest. Remember: no sense of humor. How many times do I have to tell you that: No sense of humor. Humor can get you in all kinds of shit and we've got this won, if we don't get funny.
John Sandford
She shook her head. I don't know the details, exactly, but he was a lobbyist for the Minnesota Apiary Association. You mean, archery? Jeff asked. No, apiary, Daddy. You know, honey bees. There was some kind of licensing thing going on, Brittany said. The state was going to put on a fee, and some of the bee guys said they wouldn't bring their hives into Minnesota if that happened, and Tubbs thought that the bees were interstate commerce and so only the feds were allowed to regulate it. Or something like that. I don't know. I wasn't interested enough to follow it. But Bob was around.
