“L'altura di Ashe Ridge incombeva, opprimente e minacciosa, e un'improvvisa folata di vento scosse con violenza i rami degli alberi. In quell'istante, da dietro l'angolo della casa, comparve una ragazza.
Coi capelli neri scompigliati dal vento, ricordò a Luke il quadro di Nevinson intitolato "La strega". Quel viso pallido, delicato, quei capelli così lunghi che parevano arrivare fino alle stelle... se la immaginò a cavallo di un manico di scopa che voleva verso la luna.”

About the author

Popular quotes

“A friend who attended a prestigious MBA program once told me about the business ethics course he took there. The professor counseled honest business practices for two reasons. First, if you lie or cheat you may be caught, and that would be bad for business. Second, if people in the company know they ae working in an honest business, that will boost morale . . . "Tell the truth--because it's to your own advantage," was the counsel. What happens, however, when you inevitable come to situations in which telling the truth would cost you dearly? What happens when telling a particular lie would be stupendously advantageous to you?”
― Timothy J. Keller, quote from The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith

“Do you want to have sex? I think we should have sex. CASUAL sex.”

― Molly Harper, quote from The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf

“That so-called faith in Christ which professes to release men from the obligation of obedience to God, is not faith, but presumption. "By grace are ye saved through faith." But "faith, if it hath not works, is dead." Ephesians 2:8; James 2:17.”
― Ellen G. White, quote from Steps to Christ

“Don't blame anyone for what has happened to your father. Things have changed drastically since the days of his own youth,but he has refused to see the changes...The fact is that parents get only reflected glory from their children nowadays,whereas your father has invested in all of you, just as his father invested in him so that he could help on the farm. Your father forgot that he himself left the family farm to come to this place.”
― Buchi Emecheta, quote from The Joys of Motherhood
