Keep peeling the onion and you get no onion.”

Michael  Grant
“He鈥檚 a murdering chud,鈥� Zil was yelling.
鈥淲hat do you want to do? Lynch him?鈥� Astrid demanded.
That stopped the flow for a second as kids tried to figure out what 鈥渓ynch鈥� meant. But Zil quickly recovered.
鈥淚 saw him do it. He used his powers to kill Harry.鈥�
鈥淚 was trying to stop you from smashing my head in!鈥� Hunter shouted.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e a lying mutant freak!鈥�
鈥淭hey think they can do anything they want,鈥� another voice shouted.
Astrid said, as calmly as she could while still pitching her voice to be heard, 鈥淲e are not going down that path, people, dividing up between freaks and normals.鈥�
鈥淭hey already did it!鈥� Zil cried. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the freaks acting all special and like their farts don鈥檛 stink.鈥�
That earned a laugh.
鈥淎nd now they鈥檙e starting to kill us,鈥� Zil cried.
Angry cheers.
Edilio squared his shoulders and stepped into the crowd. He went first to Hank, the kid with the shotgun. He tapped him on the shoulder and said, 鈥淕ive me that thing.鈥�
鈥淣o way,鈥� Hank said. But he didn鈥檛 seem too certain.
鈥淵ou want to have that thing fire by accident and blow someone鈥檚 face off?鈥� Edilio held his hand out. 鈥淕ive it to me, man.鈥�
Zil rounded on Edilio. 鈥淵ou going to make Hunter give up his weapon? Huh? He鈥檚 got powers, man, and that鈥檚 okay, but the normals can鈥檛 have any weapon? How are we supposed to defend ourselves from the freaks?鈥�
鈥淢an, give it a rest, huh?鈥� Edilio said. He was doing his best to sound more weary than angry or scared. Things were already bad enough. 鈥淶il, you want to be responsible if that gauge goes off and kills Astrid? You want to maybe give that some thought?鈥�
Zil blinked. But he said, 鈥淒ude, I鈥檓 not scared of Sam.鈥�
鈥淪am won鈥檛 be your problem, I will be,鈥� Edilio snapped, losing patience. 鈥淎nything happens to her, I鈥檒l take you down before Sam ever gets the chance.鈥�
Zil snorted derisively. 鈥淎h, good little boy, Edilio, kissing up to the chuds. I got news for you, dilly dilly, you鈥檙e a lowly normal, just like me and the rest of us."
鈥淚鈥檓 going to let that go,鈥� Edilio said evenly, striving to regain his cool, trying to sound calm and in control, even though he could hardly take his eyes off the twin barrels of the shotgun. 鈥淏ut now I鈥檓 taking that shotgun.鈥�
鈥淣o way!鈥� Hank cried, and the next thing was an explosion so loud, Edilio thought a bomb had gone off. The muzzle flash blinded him, like camera flash going off in his face.
Someone yelled in pain.
Edilio staggered back, squeezed his eyes shut, trying to adjust. When he opened them again the shotgun was on the ground and the boy who鈥檇 accidentally fired it was holding his bruised hand, obviously shocked.
Zil bent to grab the gun. Edilio took two steps forward and kicked Zil in the face. As Zil fell back Edilio made a grab for the shotgun. He never saw the blow that turned his knees to water and filled his head with stars.
He fell like a sack of bricks, but even as he fell he lurched forward to cover the shotgun.
Astrid screamed and launched herself down the stairs to protect Edilio.
Antoine, the one who had hit Edilio, was raising his bat to hit Edilio again, but on the back swing he caught Astrid in the face.
Antoine cursed, suddenly fearful. Zil yelled, 鈥淣o, no, no!鈥�
There was a sudden rush of running feet. Down the walkway, into the street, echoing down the block.”
Michael Grant, Hunger

Haruki Murakami
“Ms Soga," he begins, "when they called the register in school your name would have come before Ms Tanaka, and after Ms Sekine. Did you file a complaint abotu that? Did you object, askign them to reverse the order? Does G get angry because it follows F in the alphabet? Does page 68 in a book start a revoliution just because it follows 67?”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Michael  Grant
“I鈥檓 getting my stuff,鈥� he said, and bolted for the steps.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to move out,鈥� Astrid called after him.
Sam stopped halfway up the steps. 鈥淥h, I鈥檓 sorry. Is that the voice of the council telling me where I can go?鈥�
鈥淭here鈥檚 no point having a town council if you think you don鈥檛 have to listen to it,鈥� Astrid said. She was using her patient voice, trying to calm the situation. 鈥淪am, if you ignore us, no one will pay attention.鈥�
鈥淕uess what, Astrid, they鈥檙e already ignoring you. The only reason anyone pays any attention to you and the others is because they鈥檙e scared of Edilio鈥檚 soldiers.鈥� He thumped his chest. 鈥淎nd even more scared of me.”
Michael Grant, Lies

Sarah Blakley-Cartwright
“Take it easy, friend," siad Peter, regaining his balance, quickly understanding the condition Henry was in.
"Friend? You left us. In the caves." Henry's muscles tensed.
Peter stepped back cautiously. Henry didn't look like himself.
"Seems someone can't hold his drink," Peter said. He didn't go further, sensing then that Valerie might be thinking of her father.
"And now," Henry continued on his own track, stepping closer to meet him, the smell of alcohol on his breath, "my father, too is dead."
Valerie moved to Henry. "Please, don't do this," she said, stepping in. "It's not worth it."
Henry pushed past her, not realizing his own weight. The force knocked her back. Peter grabbed Henry's arm and twisted it. Overreacting, Henry reared back his fist and landed a punch in the hollow of Peter's eye. The crowd laughed as Peter fell hard to the ground.
Henry scrambled on top him, held him by the collar, forced Peter to face him as he'd never done. He looked into the eyes of the man he wanted to blame for his parents' deaths, because it was a shelter from the terrible thought that everything could be lost to a simple slip of fate. "You filth," he spat out.
This really got the villagers going. But Peter didn't laugh. He pulled a knife from his boot and leapt up, thrusting it viciously in Henry's face.
"Keep your hands off her or I'll cut them off!”
Sarah Blakley-Cartwright, Red Riding Hood

Michael Lopp
“You might very well have the requisite players, pros, and cons , but then again, you might have too many. If it鈥檚 30 minutes in and you still can鈥檛 figure out what the issue is, it鈥檚 time to go: too many issues. Someone who cares more than you needs to distill this chaos down to a coherent statement so the pros and cons can argue about one thing.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager
