Pretending,' she looked at the garden, 'is not the truth.''But you said two true things, right ? One, you hate this girl. Two, you want her to feel better. If you decide that the wanting truth's more important than the hating truth, just tell her you've forgiven her, even if you haven't. At least she'd feel better. Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

Got here half an hour ago and had a look, eyeballin' it," Sawyer said. "It's murder, all right. Tell you something else - the sun went down, and it's as dark as the inside of a horses's ass out here. — John Sandford

You go first.Go through the door before me.Enter the limousine while I wait by your side.Enter the shops while I stand behind, guarding your back.Sit at the table before me.Please, sample the tastiest morsels while I sit quietly. My desire is that you go first, in every occasion of earthly life.Only once will I go before you,And that will be at my last moment — Jean Sasson

What do people fear most about death? I asked the reb.Fear? he thought for a moment. 'Well, for one thing, what happens next? Where do we go? Is it what we imagined?That's big.Yes. But there's something else.What else — Mitch Albom

He was near tears, 'Who do I blame?' he kept asking me. 'There is no God.I can only blame myself.' The Reb's face tightened, as if in pain. That, he said, softly, is a terrible self-indictment. — Mitch Albom

She had grown accustomed to people's responses to her. Many of them assumed that there was a polar choice between marriage and work and that the more enthusiastically she had embraced her job, the more vigourously she must have rejected the idea of children or male partnership. Elizabeth had given up trying to explain. She had taken a job because she needed to live; she had found an interesting one in preference to a dull one; she had tried to do well rather than badly. She could not see how any of these three logical steps implied a violent rejection of men or children. — Sebastian Faulks Birdsong

Clear nights are sometimes the coldest. — Luanne Rice Firefly Beach

Under the Iranian code, the worth of a woman's life equals half of a man's, a point that often leads to grotesque legal judgments that effectively punish the victims. In this instance, the judge ruled that the 'blood money' for the two men was worth more than the life of the murdered nine-year-old girl, and he demanded that her family come up with thousands of dollars to finance their executions. — Shirin Ebadi Iran Awakening:...

Look at these magnificent women, I thought, created in such misogynistic and hierarchical societies, yet they are the subversive centers around which the plot is shaped. Everything is supposed to revolve around the male hero. But it is the active presence of these women that changes events and diverts the man's life from its traditional course, that shocks him into changing his very mode of existence.
