Alan    Bradley
“When you’re in The System, like after being arrested, you’re no longer a participant. You’re being processed. Instead of an easy to ignore, well-greased cog, you become a sharp edge that needs to be ground down.”
Alan Bradley, The Sixth Borough

Rebecca Harlem
“I realized that if you avoid the sin, you will also avoid the fun.”
Rebecca Harlem, The Pink Cadillac

Mike  Martin
“How do we keep it?” asked Princess Sophie. “How do we keep the spirit of Christmas?”
“That’s the real magic,” said Lady Ariana. “If we love something so much, we have to give it away. When we do that, we get to keep it ourselves, too.”
Mike Martin, Princess Sophie and the Christmas Elixir

Sherman Kennon
“Each moment embrace or more so cherish. As gentle the wind blows,” “wrap yourself within its flow.”
Sherman Kennon, Whisk Of Dust: Too Unseen Distance

Jody    Summers
“An interesting note to this novel is the fact that not only are a number
of the experiences related herein ones to which I am intimately familiar,
one is particularly unusual.
I wracked my brain for quite some time to come up with a suitable
near-death experience to use in the opening scene. As it turns out I had
an “AHA” moment, or more appropriately a “DUH” moment when it
occurred to me that I had actually survived the perfect experience to use.
As a result, the first scene and the near-death experience described here
was drawn, almost in its entirety from my OWN life, and I still retain
the scar.
I guess sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.”
Jody Summers, The Mayan Legacy
