Quotes - Free yourself from the complexities and drama of your life
“The
image of the sensual, sleep-laden Naomi made him smile. And wish he’d been
lying on the pillow next to her when she’d opened her eyes. Lucky pillow.”
―
Lotchie Burton, Gabriel's Fire
“Stand
in the machine there, let’s see what state your internal organs are in. The
images
will be projected on screen, and I can
go through the diagnosis with you, step by step.”
Brown
did as he was told and soon images of his vital organs appeared on the screen.
As
you can see, your heart is slightly enlarged and your lungs and kidneys are not
in
good shape either. Have you been
experiencing any pain lately?”
“Not that I can think of.
What can you do to help?”
“Difficult to say, you see
you are dying”
said the Doctor. You can see the
discolouration
in your kidneys.”
Brown strained his eyes.”

“She
peeped through one of the small holes in the outer wall rising up from the
walkway. The world on the outside was nothing but countryside now. Dirt roads,
like chocolate ribbons, disappeared into woods or green fields in the
distance.”

“Mary’s
hands clenched. She’d been through fire, what with a murder, and white
supremacists. And what about Caroline, who had gone undercover to rescue the
Scroll’s Key Keeper? Where were the College’s thanks for that?”

“Ah!
You speak Levitan,” the man smiled. “But you’re not from Levita I think.” Like
most
Levitians he was a good looking man, if perhaps a bit effete for Brown’s tastes.
“No, I lived there for a
while.” “Did you enjoy your stay?”
“Up to a point. The Levitian
women are very beautiful.”
“Yes of course. So are the
men in Levita,” the
man smiled. “We
used to have a
cleansing programme to
ensure a healthy population.”
“You mean a culling policy,
where you killed all the weakest members of the
population.”

“One
thing I have learnt is that you may do a lot of evil things, but if you are
ever afforded a chance to be good, then you should take it. You will feel
better about yourself.”

Max Nowaz, The Polymorph
“Being
magnanimous in victory usually worked, but to keep abreast of the situation he
had to
pump the girl for all she knew. Was
there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind?
Possibly,
but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for
weakness.”

“It’s
the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Ito finally, who had been keeping very
quiet
up to this point.
“Indeed. How much will it
cost?”
asked Brown
“About
twenty million Interplanetary Credits,” said Demba. “A modest investment for
a
man of your means.”
“Indeed,” said Brown again. That was
all the money he had, which started to strike
him
as strange, when his thoughts were interrupted.
“We’ll arrange a visit to the
mine,”
said Ito. “Show
you the place itself.”
“Indeed,” said Brown. Or had he said
that? The strange waking memory he had fallen
into
started to become repetitive. Reality started to flow back in.
Diamonds,
thought Brown. All those diamonds in that mine.”

“Every
morning when I wake up, I ask myself, "Why was I born?" Then I answer
myself, "You were born to be successful." If you can learn to define
your own success and not let others dictate it, you can find fulfilment.”

“Yesterday,
I asked a robot, Gumball I think, do you know Murphy’s law of gravitation? It
answered, ‘No, sir, I know only Newton’s and Einstein’s laws of gravitation; I
don’t know Murphy’s law.’ I replied, ‘Eh, Gumball, the slice always falls with
the buttered side to the floor. That’s Murphy’s law.’” Everyone burst into
laughter.”

“Where’s
everybody? I thought you had started production.” “They’ve got a day off, but don’t worry you’ll see the machinery is
here.” But
Brown was worried. As they entered the canteen, the lights came on automatically.
There was nobody there. “What’s going…...” but he never finished the
sentence. Brown felt a sharp pain on the side of his head and everything went
black.”

“Free
yourself from the complexities and drama of your life. Simplify. Look within.
Within ourselves we all have the gifts and talents we need to fulfill the
purpose we've been blessed with.”

“The
girl flinched, even lying down. Mary continued through gritted teeth. “Murder
can’t be walked away from. Just like you can’t walk away from Viktor. He’ll
find you if you run. Richard can’t protect you if Viktor believes you have his
babies.”

“We’re
so very sorry about this latest murder. Ignore Simon’s levity.”

Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds
“ Mary fought a savage impulse to slam the door
on the couple. But they were too interesting to ignore in the circumstances of
the murder. She caught sight of Richard spitting out a mouthful of hair.”

“We
had old architects and were working with what we had on hand. You’ve hired this
new, young architect now, and, Pericles, I’m going to build you a statue of
Athena—all gold and ivory, think of that, Pericles—and taller than our city
walls.” Pericles raised his eyes toward the birds.”

eyes gleamed. “God forgive me, I want there to be a murderer after the Falconer
family so we in the College feel less to blame.”

“My
Aspasia. With her, he’d discovered the sweetness in life . . . and she might
like to know that. He’d tell her sometime. But he knew he’d given this lovely
woman what she’d wanted most, their son’s name. He leaned over to the child.
“So, you’re Little Pericles.”

“My
grandmother said, ‘It doesn’t really matter where you had to go, where you got
the ring, or where you played the Super Bowl, all that matters is that you put
in the work, you deserved it, and you earned it.”

“Pericles
let a moment pass, then another. The Spartans needed time to set in balance the
risks of accepting the offer and the joys of being rich. Not as much time as
he’d expected, though.”

“Bringing
her eyes down again, Catherine found herself gawking at Jake’s perfectly
formed, muscular chest and stomach. She felt her cheeks flush when she he
noticed that his towel was still parted, showing off a very lean, muscular
leg.”
