Christina Engela
“Villainessa Tittel was a hired killer, an assassin by trade. She had enjoyed the best education and had been trained by assassins who had (until then at least) been considered the best in the business. She had turned to ‘cleaning’ as an occupation because she really enjoyed endings more than beginnings – and anyway, she didn’t need to know her mark’s entire pedigree or life’s story, or to have some kind of facetious moral justification just to collect her fee. Unsurprisingly, when she did read – on those rare occasions – her books were always dog-eared from the back.”
Christina Engela

“They secretly scoff as you slip,
losing your dignity and integrity,
and again as you stumble,
you drop your degrees and pedigree!”
Adiela Akoo, Lost in a Quatrain

Stacey Ballis
“Volnay is prancing, head up proudly; her squat little bowlegs producing a smooth gait that would make the dog show people preen. She carries herself like a supermodel. Weiner dog or no, she is a fairly perfect specimen of her breed. And I know I'm supposed to be all about the rescue mutts, and I give money to PAWS every year, but there is something about having a dog with a pedigree that makes me smile. Her AKC name is The Lady Volnay of Côte de Beaune. The French would call her a jolie laide, "beautiful ugly," like those people whose slightly off features, sort of unattractive and unconventional on their own, come together to make someone who is compelling, striking, and handsome in a unique way. I'm always so proud that I'm her person.”
Stacey Ballis, Out to Lunch

Vincent Okay Nwachukwu
“The man who is the final arbiter in matters of personal concern is lacking in faith. Faith in Jehovah God includes confidence in him and in his channel of communication even when it seems weird. Recognition of His excellent pedigree as the Almighty takes precedence.”
Vincent Okay Nwachukwu

Abhijit Naskar
“Fools seek identity in ancestry, the wise build their identity with sweat and blood.”
Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown
