"Life is a game where fair players are winners! But as for the "injury causers", "red-card" sees their end off!"
"The corrupt system made the ordinary citizen absolutely powerless and without rights."
"I am against justice - whenever it is carried out by a mob."

"The most important gift you can give your children is the importance of standing up to injustice. Children will remember moments spent with you. However, it isn't togetherness that creates humane parents and righteous kids.

A good father or mother teaches their children that cruelty is not something you cause or ignore, rather it is the moment you suit up for war."

"The unflattering reviews are painful for short periods of time; the badly written ones are deeply, deeply insulting. That reviewer took no time to really read the book."
"There was a hint of spring in her sole green eyes, something summery in her complexion, and a rich autumn ripeness in her walk."
"Can't nobody fly with all that shit. Wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down."
"I didn't plan on either children or writing. Once I realized that writing satisfied me in some enormous way, I had to make adjustments. The writing was always marginal in terms of time when the children were small. But it was major in terms of my head. I always thought that women could do a lot of things. All the women I knew did nine or ten things at one time.

I wouldn't say it's not hard, but why wouldn't it be? All important things are hard."
"I know it's trash: just another story made up to scare wicked females and correct unruly children. But it's all I have. I know I need something else. Something better. Like a story that shows how brazen women can take a good man down. I can hum to that."
"Certain seeds it will not nurture, certain fruit it will not bear and when the land kills of its own volition, we acquiesce and say the victim had no right to live."
