“Ask for the impossible, then settle instead for what you really wanted in the first place.”
Rachel Vincent, Stray

“Shoving aside fear and self-doubt, I met his eyes, aiming for absolute confidence in both my stance and my voice. 鈥淢y father taught me to disarm my opponent at all costs鈥攔egardless of his choice of weapon,鈥� I said, glancing pointedly at his groin.
鈥淎re you threatening me?鈥�
鈥淒amn right. Lay one hand on me and you鈥檒l never stand to pee again.鈥�
His eyes darkened, and his laugh sounded forced. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e very funny, gatita.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 glad you think so. I鈥檝e always considered my sense of humor to be largely under-appreciated, so it鈥檚 nice to finally meet a fan.”
Rachel Vincent, Stray

Rachel Vincent
“Okay, time to get serious. I let my smile fade slowly and lowered my pitch, as no human woman could have. 鈥淚鈥檓 not joking this time. If I see it, it鈥檚 mine, and you won鈥檛 get it back at the end of the school year.鈥� I growled, deep and long, savoring the feel of the vibrations in my throat, as if the sound alone could save me. It wasn鈥檛 quite a cat鈥檚 growl but it was damn close. And it was his last warning.

Miguel dismissed my threat with an easy smile, and my stomach clenched. Oh, yeah, Faythe. You have Puss shaking in his boots, all right.”
Rachel Vincent, Stray

Colson Whitehead
“She was a stray after all. A stray not only in its plantation meaning-orphaned, with no one to look after her-but in every other sphere as well. Somewhere, years ago, she had stepped off the path of life and could no longer find her way back to the family of people.”
Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad

Lynne Ewing
“She lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She had liked him from the moment she had met him Monday at school. No wonder he thought she had been acting weird on Wednesday when she couldn't even remember his name.
But other memories came to her now. Ones that filled her with sadness. She saw her mother, father, and sister. Tears burned into her eyes. Having her memories suddenly restored made it feel as if they had died all over again.
"You're crying." Derek pressed her against him and rubbed her back soothingly.
She remembered the way she had struggled through the woodlot that first night and finally found shelter in the trashed boxes behind a liquor store. She had fallen into a deep sleep and was awakened the next morning by the woman who owned the store.
That began her first foster placement. More than anything she had wanted a home. She had lived in so many different houses and towns. West Covina. Ontario. Long Beach. Wilmington. She had kept a key from each one. That's why there were so many on her key chain. She felt suddenly sorry for herself, sorry that she had lived like a stray.”
Lynne Ewing, The Lost One

Alejandro Zambra
“As she writes, she feels a warm assurance; she likes her phrasing, and her conclusions, which are not absolute. On the contrary, they retain an ambiguous hesitant air, a little like done thinking out loud. She rereads her first notes and at times disagrees with herself, and she loves that, she has always liked changing her mind. She thinks about Chaura Paillacar struggling with headaches and about the unnamed poet's jumpy eyes, and Aurelia Bala writing with both hands and Floridor P茅rez with his son Chile, whom she imagines as a teenager every bit as skinny and gangly as the country that gave him the name he wanted to change at any cost. She thinks about Hernaldo Bravo just after he was hit by a car, in a hospital, writing poems out of pure boredom, and about the twins scribbling incessantly on the walls of Bernadita Socorro's small, light-filled apartment... that the world of Chilean poets is a little stupid but it is more genuine, less false than the ordinary lives of people who follow the rules and keep their heads down. Of course there is opportunism and cruelty, but also real passion and heroism and allegiance to dreams. She thinks that Chilean poets are stray dogs and stray dogs are Chilean poets and that she herself is a Chilean poet, poking her snout into the trash cans of an unknown city...”

“An orange cat scurried out from under the bed and proceeded to snake around my ankles, purring loudly. One eye rested shut, as if it were krazy-glued to a close, and her fur was mottled. Marianne scooped her up. "Sac 脿 puces," (Fleabag), she said. "This stray is a devious one, always sneaking into the apartments. I don't know how she gets in. I'll have to warn Claude to stop feeding her tuna."
I scratched under the cat's chin, staring into her good eye---a kaleidoscope of greens and yellows. "She's sweet," I said.
"She's filthy," said Marianne, tucking the cat under her arm.”

“A loud mew distracted my ocular reconnaissance, and the cat rubbed her little head on my ankles. Marianne had been right; this cat had ninja stealth qualities. I hadn't seen her follow me into the apartment.
"Did my grand-m猫re send you here?" I asked. The cat purred so loud my heart almost burst. It was as if she understood my life, me, and what I was about to do. She may have been damaged, but weren't we all? Didn't every creature large or small need a second chance at life and at love? I sat down on the sisal-covered flooring to pet her.
"I want to keep you. What do you think of that? Of course, I'll ask Marianne if Claude will be okay with that. But I think we have a bond. I'm kind of a stray too."
Her paw gripped my finger. She'd claimed me, and I realized it wasn't the other way around.
"I'm going to name you 脡toile. It means 'star' in French," I said, stroking her fuzzy head. "You're moving to the countryside. What do you think of that?"
Yes, I was talking to a cat, and she seemed to be listening. Her one good eye closed in a slow blink. I think she was giving me the go-ahead to catnap her.”
