    “The early women rise before I do. Their lamps splinter the gloom of the kitchens. They chatter in whispers as they brew tea for the cooks. Windows are open to counter the heat of the ovens. Outside, the sky is as black as my soul.”
    ― K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

    J. Rose Black
    “Callan sucked in a breath. As a sniper, he’d been trained by the Marines to know and recognize moments. 

    Moments when all the training—his focused mind, muscle memory, weapon knowledge . . . 

    When all the preparation—target reconnaissance, angle of attack, position scouting . . . 

    When all the setup—hidden amid the terrain, barrel aimed, trajectory known . . . 

    When everything came together in one crucial moment—when the sniper squeezed the trigger and took his shot.”
    ― J. Rose Black, Losing My Breath

    “Ivan, the Russian sharpshooter, was sitting, gun in hand, behind one of Borg’s men on a motorbike further down South Eaton Place.

    Donna Tartt
    “Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things - naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror - are too terrible to really grasp ever at all. It is only later, in solitude, in memory that the realization dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself - quite to one's surprise - in an entirely different world.”
    ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
