He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart."  Excerpt from "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy (India): "The secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don't deceive you with thrills and trick endings.

You know how they end, yet you listen as though you don't."  Excerpt from "The Tale of Genji" by Murasaki Shikibu (Japan): "A crowd of ten thousand golden butterflies rose in flight as he set out to cross the field.
