“Her name was Andromache. And she was... so beautiful. And kind. And I loved her... so much.'
Human. Andromache had been human. My eyes burned.
'But she was human. And a queen- who needed to continue her royal line, especially during such a tumultuous time. So I left- went home after the last battle. And when I realised what a mistake it was, that I didn't care if I only had sixty more years with her... The wall went up that day.' A small sob came out of her.
'And I could not... I was not allowed or able to cross it. I tried. For three years, I tried over and over. And by the time I managed to find a hole to cross... She had married. A man. And had an infant daughter- with another on the way. I didn't set foot inside her castle. Didn't even try to see her. I just turned around and went home.'
'I'm so sorry,' I breathed, my voice breaking.
'She bore five children. And died an old woman, safe in her bed. And I saw her spirit again- in that golden queen. Her descendent.”

“Her ne kadar Osmanlı devleti 1908 Anayasa’sı (1293 Kanun-u Esâsî) ile köleliği saf dışı kılmış olmakla beraber, bu kurulusun gerçek anlamda ortadan kalkması ve Türk topraklarından silinip atılması Atatürk’ün yarattığı Türkiye Cumhuriyeti sayesinde olmuştur. 1926 yılında Cenevre'de imzalanan ve yeryüzü ülkelerinin tamamını köleliğe "Hayır" demeye zorlayan antlaşmayı imzalamakla Türk devleti, Kur’an’daki kölelikle ilgili hükümlerin uygulanmasına kesin olarak son vermiştir.”

“Her ne olursa olsun, kurmaca yapıtlar okumaktan vazgeçmeyeceğiz, çünkü onlarda yaşamımıza bir anlam verecek formülü aramaktayız. Sonuçta, yaşamımız süresince, bize neden dünyaya geldiğimizi ve yaşadığımızı söyleyecek bir ilk öykünün arayışı içindeyiz. Kimi zaman kozmik bir öykü arıyoruz, evrenin öyküsünü, kimi zaman kendi bireysel öykümüzü. Kimi zaman da kendi bireysel öykümüzü evrenin öyküsüyle çakıştırmayı umuyoruz.”

“Her nerves crackled with expectant heat as he reached for the sketchbook in her hand.
Without thinking, she let him take it.
His eyes narrowed as he looked down at the book, which was open to her sketch of Llandrindon. “Why did you draw him with a beard?” he asked.
“That’s not a beard,” Daisy said shortly. “It’s shadowing.”
“It looks as if he hasn’t shaved in three months.”
“I didn’t ask for your opinion on my artwork,” she snapped. She grabbed the sketchbook, but he refused to release it. “Let go,” she demanded, tugging with all her might, “or I’ll…”
“You’ll what? Draw a portrait of me?” He released the book with a suddenness that caused her to stumble back a few steps. He held up his hands defensively. “No. Anything but that.”
Daisy rushed at him and whacked his chest with the book.”

“My father will be overjoyed. But Mother will have conniptions. And Lillian…”
“Will explode.”
Daisy sighed. “My brothers aren’t too fond of you, either.”
“Really,” he said in mock surprise.”

“Her new world had no telephones, internet or indoor plumbing. The customs were bloody and the laws were harsh. A man who tried to hurt a child faced a horrifying death. Women were not allowed to fight, because it wasn’t women’s work. Men were supposed to kill and die. That was what they knew. In the world she had come from, everything was convenient, people felt safe most of the time, and if anyone died protecting a child it was likely to be a woman.
Which world is more honest?”

“My mom wanted six children. She only got me, and that sucks for her because I was a total weirdo.”
“You were not,” I said.
She twisted her head up to look at me.

“Not that bad,” I said. “Crying out for attention.”
“Okay, when I was twelve I started writing letters to my birth mother because I wanted to be adopted.”
I shook my head. “Your childhood sucked, you wanted a new reality.”
She snorted air through her nose. “I thought a mermaid lived in my shower drain, and I used to call her Sarah and talk to her.”
“Active imagination,” I countered. She was becoming more insistent, her little body wriggling in my grip.
“I used to make paper out of dryer lint.”
“Nerdy.”
“I wanted to be one with nature, so I started boiling grass and drinking it with a little bit of dirt for sugar.”
I paused. “Okay, that’s weird.”
“Thank you!” she said. Then, she got serious again. “My mom just loved me through all of it.”

“Her nomination for vice president in 2008 represents the most desperate inclinations of the Republican Party. In two hundred years, I suspect historians will use Palin as an example of how insane America became in the decade following the destruction of the World Trade Center, and her origin story will seem as extraterrestrial and eccentric as Abe Lincoln jumping out of a window to undermine a voting quorum in 1840.”

“Her nose opens up like a flower,
Her face glows like the afternoon sun,
Maybe it's just a blur,
Or perhaps, it's the girl in her”
“Her nose was crooked, as though it might have been broken a couple of times. She also had a broken tooth and her hand was in a bandage. She was still beautiful. She refused to stop being beautiful. No matter what men did to her, no matter how many times she was knocked down the stairs. The same reason she was still beautiful was the same reason she was here. She was resilient. She refused to be ugly.”
“Her nose was just millimetres from his, breathing in as she was breathing out. He closed his eyes and decided to go for it. He kissed her and was pleasantly surprised when her lips hungrily accepted his.
A warm glow engulfed his body, feelings he had never felt before. She wound her fingers into his hair. His hair curled around her fingers, soft and fine. His soft lips and skin so different from the shaven faces of her abusers. She could taste the apple he had previously eaten on his breath, she couldn’t describe how beautiful it tasted.
This was real and was love. All he knew for sure was that right here and now in this dug-out tree, he was falling in love, and he could only hope that he was feeling the same way.
For the briefest of moments, the war was over. Hitler, the Hitler Youth, and the hate against Jewish people was gone. Fritz had never felt so happy. Yes, he was cramped, his back and legs stiff; he was hungry, and the worst was yet to come, but for now he was the happiest he had been since he could remember.”

“Her OBGYN, Dr Caroline Murdoch, popped in and asked if she could speak to Bree alone. Bree nodded and Tina left them. "I wanted to talk to you about why you fainted.” Something in her voice made Bree’s body go rigid with expectation. “I…thought maybe it was the shock of… everything,” Bree whispered. Oh God. Oh God. She didn’t know what she was bracing herself for. “I know you and Alessandro were trying to conceive again. I want to tell you that you were successful. You’re going to have a baby, Bree,” she said. Bree squeezed Gianni tighter and buried her face in his neck as the tears filled her eyes and streamed from her face. Oh God…Now? She was torn between joy and utter terror. They had done it, but how would Alessandro react when he found out, considering the condition he was in now. They had created another life. Another target for Arturo.”

“Her old high school was a fine high school, if you liked high school. It wasn’t bad or evil. It was just like it was supposed to be - miles of linoleum and humming lights, the warm funk of cafeteria stink too early in the morning, the flashes of inspiration that were quickly quashed by long stretches of tedium, and the perpetual desire to be somewhere else.”
