Cricket Rohman
“Buttercup?” Trace looked concerned. “You’ve named the cows?”
“Not all of them … yet. I’ll give them each a name when the perfect name pops up.”
He scratched his head. “You do know the fate of most beef cattle, right?” ”
Cricket Rohman, Colorado Takedown

Susan  Rowland
“He says it was tourists being careless, where I see a fiendishly clever murder attempt.”
“Mr. McCarthy, you’d better explain.”
“Patrick, please. You’ll be tempted to laugh. It was a banana skin.”
Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds

Daphne du Maurier
“We were like two performers in a play, but we were divided, we were not acting with one another. We had to endure it alone, we had to put up this show, this miserable, sham performance for the sake of all these people I did not know and did not want to see again.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

Sherman Alexie
“But she was beautiful, with hair and eyes so dark and long. He imagined she was a reservation eclipse. Full. He needed special glasses to look at her; he could barely survive her reflection. “You’re a constellation,” he said.”
Sherman Alexie, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

Sun Tzu
“Hence a commander who advances without any thought of winning personal fame and withdraws in spite of certain punishment, whose only concern is to protect his people and promote the interests of his ruler, is the nation's treasure. Because he fusses over his men as if they were infants, they will accompany him into the deepest valleys; because he fusses over his men as if they were his own beloved sons, they will die by his side. If he is generous with them and yet they do not do as he tells them, if he loves them and yet they do not obey his commands, if he is so undisciplined with them that he cannot bring them into proper order, they will be like spoiled children who can be put to no good use at all.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
