    Susan Rowland
    “The fire on the mountain.” That was Anna. “Alchemy,” she said. “I feel it singing in my bones.”
    “Singing?” Mary would never understand Anna. The young woman turned away.
    Wiseman’s reply was tinged with respect.
    “That great pair of alchemists, Francis Ransome and Roberta Le More, believed the work they did affected the world’s spirit, the anima mundi. The Native Americans they met believed they too could and should interact with the Great Spirit. They lived with reverence for the land and all its peoples, the ancestors, the animals, the rocks, the trees, mountains.” 
    Mary’s jaw dropped; Caroline glowed; Anna pretended not to listen. Wiseman nodded, then continued.
    “You mean…?” began Mary.
    “Yes, it could have been so different, a meeting of like-minded earth-based spiritualities. Just imagine, what could have been?”
    ― Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

    Gregory David Roberts
    “For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on.”
    ― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

    Irène Némirovsky
    “Ma allora cos'è che ti conforta?"
    "La certezza della mia libertà interiore" disse lui dopo aver riflettuto "questo bene prezioso, inalterabile, e che dipende sola da me perdere o conservare. la convinzione che le passioni spinte al parossismo come capita come capita ora finiscono poi per placarsi. Che tutto ciò che ha un inizio avrà una fine. In poche parole, che le catastrofi passano e che bisogna cercare di non andarsene prima di loro, ecco tutto. Perciò, prima di tutto vivere: Primum vivere. Giorno per giorno. Resistere, attendere, sperare.”
    ― Irène Némirovsky

    “Huh," Leo said. "Well, if you ever get off this island and want a job, let me know. You're not a total klutz."

    She smirked. "A job, eh?" Making things in your forge?"

    "Nah, we could start our own shop," Leo said, surprising himself. Starting a machine shop had always been one of his dreams, but he'd never told anyone about it. "Leo and Calypso's Garage: Auto Repair and Mechanical Monsters.”
