Mouloud Benzadi
“It seems ironic that while they continue their pleas for privacy, Prince Harry ‘breachesâ€� Royal Family’s privacy in his Bombshell memoir. That can undermine his own future right to privacy.”
Mouloud Benzadi

Ray Bradbury
“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar. Surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally ‘bright,â€� did most of the reciting and answering while the others sat like so many leaden idols, hating him. And wasn’t it this bright boy you selected and tortured after hours? Of course it was. We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves again. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man's mind. Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man? Me?”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

K.I. Lynn
“This is your fault. F*cking flirting with another guy in front of me, practically offering up your p*ssy to him. But it's not yours to give away, is it? That's right, baby, it's not. Your f*cking p*ssy belongs to me, and I'm going to make sure everyone know that it's taken.”
K.I. Lynn

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Immediately after a divorce or a breakup, your mind whispers that there are plenty more fish in the sea, while your heart shouts that there is only one whoever-you-just-divorced-or-broke-up-with.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Liz Braswell
“Mermaid queens didn't often have a reason to move quickly. There were no wars to direct, no assassination attempts to evade, no crowds of clamoring admirers to avoid among the merfolk. In fact, slowness and calm were expected of royalty.
So Ariel found herself thoroughly enjoying the exercise as she beat her tail against the water- even as it winded her a little. She missed dashing through shipwrecks with Flounder, fleeing sharks, trying to scoot back home before curfew. She loved the feel of her powerful muscles, the way the current cut around her when she twisted her shoulders to go faster.
She hadn't been this far up in years and gulped as the pressure of the deep faded. She clicked her ears, readying them for the change of environment. Colors faded and transformed around her from the dark, heady slate of the ocean bottom to the soothing azure of the middle depths and finally lightening to the electric, magical periwinkle that heralded the burst into daylight.
She hadn't planned to break through the surface triumphantly. She wouldn't give it that power. Her plan was to take it slow and rise like a whale. Casually, unperturbed, like Ooh, here I am.
But somehow her tail kicked in twice as hard the last few feet, and she exploded into the warm sunlit air like she had been drowning.
She gulped again and tasted the breeze- dry in her mouth; salt and pine and far-distant fires and a thousand alien scents.”
Liz Braswell, Part of Your World

“People may say . . . that all is made up and well again, but such breaches between great people are seldom or never so.”
Anne Somerset, Queen Anne: The Politics of Passion

Pawan Mishra
“It’s our version of a black hole. Just like amply compact mass can distort space and time to cause a black hole, a sufficiently dense breach of discipline in our office causes a black hole that sucks the offender away for eternity, never to spit him back.”
Pawan Mishra, Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy

Anton Chekhov
“There is no wall so solid that a breach cannot be made in it, but our modern lovers, from what I know of them, are too timid, inert, lazy and mistrustful, and resign themselves too quickly to the thought that they are failures, that life has cheated them in love. Instead of fighting, they merely criticize the world for its pettiness, forgetting that their very criticism gradually dwindles down to petty fault-finding.”
Anton Chekhov

Cormac McCarthy
“The rage of children seemed inexplicable other than as a breach of some deep and innate covenant having to do with how the world should be and wasnt.”
Cormac McCarthy, Stella Maris

K.I. Lynn
“So f*cking sexy like that. You love it when I tell you what to do; how to be my good little whore. Now tell me... Do you taste good?”
K.I. Lynn

“As a dam is breached and water escapes..”
Miriam Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature, Volume I: The Old and Middle Kingdoms

Margot Berwin
“I peeked out from under the tarp to see a gray whale breaching. It cut through the haze and spiraled upward, propelling its entire body through the air right next to the tiny rowboat. It was as big as a yellow school bus and crusted over with a thick layer of barnacles.
I was intensely nervous about its size. The only time I'd ever seen a whale was in an aquarium in a Florida resort. This one seemed much larger. And infinitely freer. It was the first time in my life I understood how scary and dangerous things that are free really are.”
Margot Berwin, Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire
