“With us he spoke freely enough. We were, in some subtle way, his folks. Though we had taken him in, you had the feeling that he had adopted us. But with others he was reserved; courteous and soft-spoken, yet withdrawn beyond a line of his own making.”
― Jack Schaefer, Shane

“I would think of him most vividly in that single flashing instant when he whirled to shoot Fletcher on the balcony at Grafton’s saloon. I would see again the power and grace of coordinate force beautiful beyond comprehension. I would see the man and the weapon wedded in one indivisible deadliness. I would see the man and the tool, a good man and a good tool, doing what had to be done”
― Jack Schaefer, Shane

“If God had decided to build His own church, it would’ve been the mountains. There a man can live like He intended us to live, and never forget that He is there.”

Clouds are rushing in, and darkness rides the earth.

And when the storm comes, furious, fast, and violent�
will those in its eye, when the pieces fall�

…be left standing?”

“There is a world removed from the one that birthed me. It is a world unlike the one in which I grew and was molded. It is the real world," he told the dog, who twitched its ears. "And it is full only of ignorance and evil.”

“If there were an unusual number of 'typos' (typographical errors) in their work--well, the lurking fear of a Winchester slug in the back might account for many mistakes.”

“I knew a man once who said it was all foolishness â€� that if you want to kill a man, why, kill him. Shoot him down from behind in the dark if you want to kill him. But don’t make a game with rules out of it.
But he doesn’t understand. It is not that at all, for you don’t want to kill a man. It is only the rules that matter. It is holding strict to the rules that counts.�
Blaisedell let his chair down suddenly, and the legs cracked upon the floor; he leaned forward with his face intent and strained, and Gannon felt the full force of his eyes. “Hold to them like you are walking on eggs,â€� he said. “So you know yourself you have played it fair and as best you could. As right as you could.”
― Oakley Hall, Warlock

“The cowboy’s face turned a bright shade of red. Whether it was from the booze or not, Clay couldn’t tell. He puffed out his chest, like a game bird ready to warn off a rival. “Now, I can tell you ain’t from around here and I don’t know how it’s done with your lot.

Otherwise, you’d have known who you were speaking to. In Fairpoint, the polite thing to do is accept a man’s offer when he goes out of his way to buy you a drink. It sounds like you’re saying you’re too good for us, old timer. I reckon the way you were staring makes me think you’ve got a problem.�

The other men took that as their cue to edge closer. If he wanted to, Clay could’ve tried to defuse the situation. The cowboy’s arrogance stirred a primal urge within him, a need for violence made sharper by the alcohol in his system.

“I’m speaking to a nobody in some godsforsaken town in the ass end of the world. There’s nothing good about me, boy. So, do yourself a favour and walk away. Or you and the rest of them peckerwoods will be picking your teeth up off the floor.”
― Jamie Ryder, At the Dead of Dusk

“Jo, having watched the conversion in silence, her face caught between awe and curiosity, fidgeted when she saw Itsano scrutinising her. “Sorry. I don’t mean to stare. I ain’t met anyone like you before.â€�

“I am something of a rare breed in these parts. My ancestors shared a similar look when they saw your people for the first time. We thought you just as ugly.â€� Itsano winked to show he took no offense.”
― Jamie Ryder, At the Dead of Dusk

“Agnus strode into the clearing, a cold glint in her gaze.
“I thought I was done reminding you that this is not your hunting ground, Kriegan. But once again you’ve let your feral stupidity get the better of you and it seems another lesson needs to be taught.� She closed her hand into a fist, which caused the roots to squeeze tighter and the werewolf uttered a painful whine.

Looming over her captive, Agnus continued. “Jo is my guest. She’s not sport or food for your pack of flea-bitten curs. Make the mistake of thinking her as prey again and neither of us will be so merciful next time. Understand?�

The werewolf made a garbled noise and the roots fell away. Bowing like a scolded dog, the werewolf loped back into the forest, a smudge of fur and muscle lost among the foliage.”
― Jamie Ryder, At the Dead of Dusk

“He watched the ribbon of torn paper whirling, fluttering on the Q.T. Sauce advertisement. Our civilization is dying. It must be dying. But it isn't going to die in its bed. Presently the aeroplanes are corning. Zoom-whizz- crashl -The whole western world going up in a roar of high explosives.”
― George Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying

“The world will never be a better place until the West doesn't change its nature, hypocritical and double-standard behaviour and racist ideology with hunger for power and ruling.
It's the so-called first world with the values and character of a 4th world.”

“THE LIFE of David “Gabbyâ€� Earl Penning was only seconds away from turning into ashes, just like his parentsâ€� farmâ€� literally. He knew the days in that farm house and its large pasture with the cows, horses, chickens and pigs would end someday - just like his siblings, Joyce and Sam - but he didn’t know that day would come so soon. Not only that, but he didn’t think it would’ve been burned by someone he’d never expect: a stranger.”

“Jake acknowledged her remarks with raised brows, an emphatic and knowing nod, and a peculiar smile while a coughing fit escaped Hugh. He’d heard all about Josie and could barely contain his amusement with the nun’s remarks. Jake tried to temper his reply. “Yes, we’ve experienced the determination of Miss Hayes.â€�
