But chance runs like a river through all our lives, and being prepared for surprise is the best we can do Picture Quote #1

I wrote ‘Airborn’ after completing three books about bats. I loved my bats, but what a treat it was to write about humans again. They could eat food other than midges and mosquitoes, they wore clothing, they slept in beds - all this struck me as wonderfully novel Picture Quote #1

The more I worked on ‘Half Brother,’ the more it seemed to me the story was really about love in all its possible forms - how and why we decide to bestow it, or withdraw it; how we decide what is more worthy of being loved, and what is less. We are masters of conditional love Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons I wrote ‘Airborn’ was that I’d fallen in love with the great passenger airships which flew in the 20s and 30s. Their time was short-lived. They were frail, they tended to crash; and they could never be as fast, safe and efficient as the airplanes that replaced them Picture Quote #1

We used to flock to watch gladiators, public torture and executions. In more recent times, our appetite for mortal violence has been sublimated in sports, photorealistic video games, film and literature Picture Quote #1

There is a passion in you that scares me Picture Quote #1

It’s the way you look whenever she mentions her fiance. My cat looks like that before he hacks up a hairball Picture Quote #1

I turned around and headed back to the stairwell, planning to go downstairs and buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine. Maybe it would fall on me and end my misery Picture Quote #1

The preface? Why would he waste time with the preface? Skip the preface and move on to the meat of the thing! Picture Quote #1

It was as though, in one moment, he had become a stranger. And I a stranger to myself Picture Quote #1

You’re like something drawn with the sun’s fire, and I can take only little glimpses of you Picture Quote #1

I believe there is something on this earth that you desire more than anything, and it isn’t me Picture Quote #1

Here’s all I know: that the world is uncontrollable. Chaos reigns. That anything and everything might be possible. I won’t subscribe to any rational system again. Nothing will bind me Picture Quote #1
