  1. W.E.B. Du Bois _ The Souls of Black Folk

    What rent do you pay here?" I inquired. "I don't know,-what is it, Sam?" "All we make," answered Sam. It is a depressing place,-bare, unshaded, with no charm of past association, only a memory of forced human toil,-now, then, and before the war. They are not happy, these black men whom we meet throughout this region. There is little of the joyous abandon and playfulness which we are wont to associate with the plantation Negro.

  2. Susanna Clarke _ Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

    It {Ashfair House} was an old fashioned house-the sort of house in fact, as Strange expressed it, which a lady in a novel might like to be persecuted in.

  3. Rebecca McNutt _ Nostalgia

    And what if the other kids laugh at me?" Kerry complained to her parents as she nibbled on a piece of toast that morning. "I have a Cape Breton accent! They'll know I'm from Canada and they'll start asking me if I lived in an igloo or ate maple syrup, bacon and seal meat every day!""You're really overreacting," Susan chuckled, sipping on a glass of orange juice. "Canada is a lot like the States and the only thing separating both countries is an imaginary boarder! If anyone laughs at you, tell them it doesn't snow year-round, you got free health care while you were there and that you never rode a polar bear to school. Besides, do you know how many popular movies and TV shows from the States were filmed in Canada?""It's not just the Canada stuff mom," Kerry sighed worriedly. "I'm from Dym, it's an industrial dump!""Yeah, and have you looked at Pittsburgh lately?" Susan asked. "Full of coal mines and steel mills, just like Sydney was when we lived there! I actually rather came to like the pollution, I don't think I'd ever want to leave it.

  4. Rebecca McNutt _ The Vinyl Effect

    Mark, trying his best to distance himself from the cruel and pathetic 21st century, hadn't listened to the news reports, not even when the dark green jeeps and helicopters showed up in town, men dressed in identical uniforms, just like in school, always standing with stony faces, setting up shelters and warning signals and food storage boxes. And as the public service announcements and racist propaganda bloomed onto the screens in every classroom, Mark's only observation was that the United States still had such a long way to go. When times were dire, they resorted to using inaccurate stereotypes and ignorance as a weapon, with an impressionable society always willing to believe without further question.

  5. Annie Dillard _ Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

    Their song reminds me of a child's neighborhood rallying cry-ee-ock-ee-with a heartfelt warble at the end. But it is their call that is especially endearing. The towhee has the brass and grace to call, simply and clearly, "tweet". I know of no other bird that stoops to literal tweeting.

  6. Kelley Armstrong _ Omens

    Take note, Anderson. Size and martial ability do not need to come with a correlating decrease in intelligence.

  7. Toni Morrison _ Love

    Nowadays silence is looked on as odd and most of my race has forgotten the beauty of meaning much by saying little. Now tongues work all day by themselves with no help from the mind.
