Her hand on the door, Quincy shifted and looked back at her uncle's profile. "What is?"
"Staying with someone. Companionship is one of the great arts of the human soul. ~ Beth Brower
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Beth Brower
You spill a lot of beans in historical fiction. Crime fiction is about spilling no beans at all. You spill the least beans you possibly can. So because I had already written historical fiction before I was really good at the spilling beans section, but the new skill I had to learn when I was writing Brighton Belle was difficult. I had to avoid the equivalent of shouting, this character's a murderer! Look who did it!. ~ Sara Sheridan
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Sara Sheridan
Every time you go to see Hamlet you don't expect it to have a happy ending ... you're still enthralled.
(Interview BBC Radio 4 Today 17 October 2012.) ~ Hilary Mantel

The physiological effects of an electrocution are severe and painful. Besides launching the body into violent convulsions, the electrocution of a human being causes massive destruction throughout the body. ~ Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
I have always regarded historical fiction and fantasy as sisters under the skin, two genres separated at birth. ~ Maurice Druon
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Maurice Druon
A great poet can give nobler and more precious gifts to his country than the greatest philanthropist or politician. ~ Orna Ross
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Orna Ross
Burlic screamed. He threw back his head and roared a single furious word into the night: "Waeccan." The name erupted from him in a savage wail that rasped at his throat, over and over until he could shout no more.
His howls echoed along the valley. In the village, the other hunters heard and exchanged glances, shook their heads and said nothing. The women clutched their talismans, told the children to go inside. They had tried to help, but there was nothing they could do for Burlic now. ~ Mikey Campling
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Mikey Campling
Sometimes time can play tricks. One moment it idles by, an hour can seem a lifetime, such as when sitting by the river at dusk watching the bats snatching insects above the limpid waters; the breaching fish causing ringed ripples and a satisfying plop. Other times, time flashes by in an immodest fashion. So it is with the start of war. First time quivers with the last strum of a wonderful peace, the note holding in the air, mysterious and haunting, filling the listener with awe. Then, with a rising crescendo the terror starts with uncouth haste; with a boom the listener is shaken from their reverie and delivered into the servitude, of an ear-shattering cacophony. ~ M.A. Lossl
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by M.A. Lossl
In any case how many took the oath and are now licking the toes of the whiteman?No, you take an oath to confirm a choice already made. The decision to lay or not lay your life for the people lies in the heart. The oath is the water sprinkled on a man's head at baptism ~ Ngugi Wa Thiongo
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Ngugi Wa Thiongo
We live in a state of perpetual war, is it not time to instigate an abode of peace? - Konjic ~ Rehan Khan
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Rehan Khan
Miss Grant, I don't know where you got the idea that men don't have deep feelings, but that's wrong. Oh, we might be better at hiding them. But we get sad and scared and doubtful, the same as anybody else. I can tell you I cried lots of sowing tears when my uncle died after I came to Spiveyville.~Mack Cleveland ~ Kim Vogel Sawyer
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Kim Vogel Sawyer
You can tell when a Hollywood historical film was made by looking at the eye makeup of the leading ladies, and you can tell the date of an old science fiction novel by every word on the page. Nothing dates harder and faster and more strangely than the future. ~ Alfred Bester
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Alfred Bester
God wanted him to go to Him with his deepest needs, to stop looking elsewhere, so that he could be made whole again. ~ Jody Hedlund
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Jody Hedlund
There is not only one measure of beauty, Lanore. Everyone adores the red rose, and yet it is a common sort of beauty. You are like a golden rose, a rare bloom but no less lovely. ~ Alma Katsu
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Alma Katsu
How many men can say, as I must, 'I am a man whose only friend is the King of England'? I have everything, you would think. And yet take Henry away, and I have nothing. ~ Hilary Mantel
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Hilary Mantel
To know, finally, what love is and not be allowed fulfilment ... ~ Anne Rouen
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Anne Rouen
Sometimes, the choices we make have devastating consequences ~ Jeanette Vaughan
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Jeanette Vaughan
Rooks have clustered on either side of the long road. It is as if they line a grand parade route for our passage. Their black feathers are stark as soot against the white road and the snow. They stab at the ground with their strange bare bills and gray unfeathered faces. The birds are like rough-edged black stones on a string around this stripped cold neck of road. The old books tell us rooks bring the virtuous dead to heaven's gate. ~ Ned Hayes
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Ned Hayes
You are a woman born of secrets and sadness. It will either destroy your future or lead you to greatness. A handsome gentleman with eyes like the sky and hair like a raven's wing will come into your life. If you let him, he will become the hand of your vengeance. If you let him,he will shatter your heart. ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
You only get to know yourself when you travel - Will ~ Rehan Khan
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Rehan Khan
The Spaniards were seated at a table by the hearth, dominating the room with their mustachioed handsomeness and aggressive good cheer. ~ Dawn Patitucci
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Dawn Patitucci
He loves the most beautiful woman in the world. And like Sir Lancelot, he shall love her exceedingly well. ~ Orna Ross
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Orna Ross
She was not the type of woman to keep a lover. A man would have to work hard day and night to even gain her notice. She was intelligent, strong, interesting, and even a little bit mysterious. ~ Lina J. Potter
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Lina J. Potter
Death, it seems, has a mind of its own. ~ Ruta Sepetys
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Ruta Sepetys
It is amazing what a woman can do if only she ignores what men tell her she can't. ~ Carol K. Carr
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Carol K. Carr
I followed the curious intensity behind those dark blue eyes and the moment his eyes changed. Suddenly, my world felt terribly small, like I'd experienced merely a handful of what it had to offer. ~ Abigail Wilson
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Abigail Wilson
In the end, I listen to my fear. It keeps me awake, resounding through the frantic beating in my breast. It is there in the dry terror in my throat, in the pricking of the rats' nervous feet in the darkness. Christian has not come home all the night long. I know, for I have lain in this darkness for hours now with my eyes stretched wide, yearning for my son's return. ~ Ned Hayes
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Ned Hayes
Fenella Doorn watched the unfamiliar wreck of a ship ghosting into her bay. Crippled by cannon fire, she thought. What else could do such damage? The foremast was blown away, as well as half the mainmast where a jury rig clung to the jagged stump, and shot holes tattered the sails on the mizzen. And yet, to Fenella's experienced eye the vessel had an air of defiance. Demi-cannons hulked in the shadowed gun ports. This ship was a fighter, battered but not beaten. With fight still in her, was she friend or foe? ~ Barbara Kyle
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Barbara Kyle
She might not be able to eradicate every prejudice around her, but she had to start somewhere to make a difference. And the best place for that was with herself. ~ Jody Hedlund
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Jody Hedlund
Once you're labeled as mentally ill, and that's in your medical notes, then anything you say can be discounted as an artifact of your mental illness. ~ Hilary Mantel
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Hilary Mantel
Though the heart may be cracked wide, pain can still seep in. ~ Rachelle Rea Cobb
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Rachelle Rea Cobb
He watched the newly arrived commuters as they stepped into the carriage, pushed their way down the tube, the odours from their damp clothes mingling, giving off varying degrees of mustiness: London grime, or smoke from airless offices. A woman wearing a blue swing coat glanced along the carriage, casting around for an empty seat. Her pale skin, the searching green eyes, reminded him of Emma. Briefly, he felt his breath catch; he stood, clambered back over his neighbour and indicated for her to take his seat. And so his mind stayed with Emma when he knew he should be working out a strategy for telling Dorothy of his news. But Emma was never far away; like the glitter balls in dance halls, she would slowly rotate in his memory, different facets reappearing, as the hues changed in her auburn hair. ~ Amanda Sington-Williams
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Amanda Sington-Williams
Here's to the future, he said and lifted the glass to his mouth. There was a lump of regret stuck in his throat as he spoke the words, but he washed it down with the whiskey. ~ Bette Lee Crosby
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Bette Lee Crosby
I have a fondness for historical fiction, something wondrous like 'Wolf Hall,' but I'll read most anything as long as the story grabs my mind or my heart, and preferably both. You would be hard pressed, however, to find science fiction on my shelves. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
Good historical fiction can bring those sights, smells, and even the oppressive heat so alive, you feel that you are there, ~ Erin Brown Conroy
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Erin Brown Conroy
Paul was focused on Ann, alone. "Would
you like to dance?"
The dreaded question. Not because the person
asking was dreadful. Quite the contrary. She
wasn't immune to his charms, but Ann liked to
feel competent and in control. Dancing was not
going to make her feel that way. ~ Dawn Klinge
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Dawn Klinge
Writing is an act of faith. One must believe and see people who are invisible to others and be faithful to tell half formed stories. It's like being on the trail of an apparition who's repeatedly just out of reach.
K. Youngblood ~ Katherine Imogene Youngblood
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Katherine Imogene Youngblood
The elves are a very fun-loving, happy people that cherish their families and have a symphonic relationship with nature that is inseparable from their spirit. Maybe nature is their spirit. It's all very mysterious. ~ Ravek Hunter
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Ravek Hunter
I am a survivor. But I am not unique of the people that survived the great late war. We all have our stories to tell. But for most of us the hardened corners have soften with the passage of time. ~ Nancy B. Brewer
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Nancy B. Brewer
And unbidden, floating into consciousness came the truth of his utter wretchedness. Even the very earth seemed to cry out in pain. Hodburn Wood ~ J. Tyson-Capper
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by J. Tyson-Capper
Are you a traveling man he asked? ~ Nancy B. Brewer
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Nancy B. Brewer
Why don't ye be sensible, Flask? it's easy to be sensible; why don't ye, then? any man with half an eye can be sensible."
"I don't know that, Stubb. You sometimes find it rather hard. ~ Herman Melville
Historical Fiction Orphans quotes by Herman Melville
Abe picked up a shiny silver star, now a bit tarnished, the symbol of a happier time. The year after their daughter's death came the joy of a a newborn son,. Jeremy just squeaked into life the day before the holiday. The star was Abe's gift to his wife that Christmas. He smiled as he hung it on a branch. ~ Debra Holland
