“A sound of laughter was heard-they turned sharply. Vera Claythorne was standing in the yard. She cried out in a high shrill voice, shaken with wild bursts of laughter:
"Do they keep bees on this island? Tell me that. Where do we go for honey? Ha! ha!"
They stared at her uncomprehendingly. It was as though the sane well-balanced girl had gone mad right before their eyes. She went on in that high unnatural voice:
"Don't stare like that! As though you thought I was mad. It's sane enough what I'm asking. Bees, hives, bees! Oh, don't you understand? Haven't you read that idiotic rhyme? It's up in all of your bedrooms-put it there for you to study! We might have come here straightaway if we'd had sense. Seven little soldiers chopping up sticks. And the next verse, I know the whole thing by heart, I tell you! Six little soldier boys playing with a hive. And that's why I'm asking-do they keep bees on this island- isn't it damned funny...?”
― Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None

“Eternity will not cause our memories to fade, it will force our hearts to accept the past.”

“Jer, ako ima boga, on je samo jedan.
I ne treba ti mač i crkva da mu budeš odan.
On od tebe jednostavno želi da budeš dobar,
a ne da plaćaš popa i da se šlihtaš do groba.
Ako sve ovo ikad kažeš, izdajnik si roda.
Jer ovde si to: vera, nacija i boja.
Ljudi umiru zbog toga, zbog slučajne lutrije,
a da su izvučeni drugde, sve bi bilo drukčije:
voleli bi ono sto sad mrze jednakim žarom,
i opet bi im bilo vredno da to plate glavom. (Pismo vanzemaljcu)”
― Marko Šelić

“It made me angry that people could simply kill other people, take what they wanted, and ignore the cries of the sick and hungry. The world wasn’t like that�� or it shouldn’t be like that—even though I hadn’t seen enough of the world to know what it was really like.”
― Cameron Stracher, The Water Wars

“Vi ste vernik?
- Jesam.
A koji je Vaš Bog?

“I love vocab. It's like spelunking in a cave you've been in your whole life and discovering a thousand new tunnels.”

“I see it as symbolic. The label no longer fits. His emotional parsimoniousness just got sucked away by the beautiful blue sky. I lean forward and reach my hand behind my back, then take my sign off, and I toss it out the window, too. I am no longer an ex-stripper's daughter, either. I have gone from invisible Vera Dietz to invincible Vera Dietz.”
― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz

“Try to think of it as though we are rewriting history––the first time this experience occurred you and I never kissed in this Dream Machine room. But now when we leave here, and open our eyes again near the wall around the center of Constance, that kiss will be included in our memories of the day we first met. We could spend a lifetime recreating this moment here, meanwhile, not a single second of our lives would slip by back in our reality. Time seems to move differently inside of our memories.”
― Ross Caligiuri, Dreaming in the Shadows

“As her feet beat the concrete ground beneath them, her chest began to ache. It had been a long time since she had run at a full sprint. She was, quite literally, running for her life, and leaving everything she had known before behind. Regardless of her past experiences, here she was, blindly following a girl, who was virtually a stranger, because she had promised to lead Eleanor to safety.”
― Ross Caligiuri, Dreaming in the Shadows

“Eleanor had heard talk of the rebellion that existed inside the city of Constance before. Most of the information she gathered was considered an old fairy tale by the general public. There were a few stories here and there about people angered by their present living conditions, who had demanded that the center of Constance be held responsible for it. However, information was never passed between the five different sectors. Over the years the tales of the rebellion had become children’s bedtime stories, and people did not take them seriously.”
― Ross Caligiuri, Dreaming in the Shadows

“Here we go,�� Phoenix said, turning back to Nora. “Try not to let this room scare you.”

“As I load my shirt into the washer for the night, I daydream about making a sign and hanging it around my neck. It could read, I MISS CHARLIE KHAN.
As I drive home, I picture other signs- one for everyone who has a secret. Bill Coro's would say, I CAN'T READ, BUT I CAN THROW A FOOTBALL. Me. Shunk's would read, I WISH I COULD TOSS YOU ALL ON AN ISLAND BY YOURSELVES. Dad's would read, I HATE MYSELF FOR NO GOOD REASON.”
― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz

My Idea grows.”

“Čestit čovek. Da, to je mnogo lakše nego se truditi da veruješ u Boga. To nije lako, veoma je teško i vrlo zastrašujuće. A ono što je još strašnije jeste dozvoliti sebi da poveruješ da Bog veruje u tebe.”
― Mary Westmacott, The Burden
