Indie publishing is a high-risk venture and in search of free copies of later volumes in a series one hopes that the author has chosen to implement a wide distribution strategy and hence has implemented his later books in the series as perma-free or heavily discounted. It seems that this series is doing very well in its niche, and thus by the time Book #6 is released, one expects to have invested in the author to that point. Thus viewing the purchase of #1 as “buying” continued service seems to be the appropriate way to look at it.

I should probably add a note to follow the authors too. I have a relatively small catalog, so if you sign up for my newsletter or follow me on social media, I can tell you about the other books I’ve enjoyed in the genre. For now, though, I have added a note to the “Customers Also Bought” section on the Kindle page for one of my books. It looks like the algorithm is initially clustering the books by the most obvious genre tags (i.e. “clean Regency romance”), but as you scroll down, you will see more idiosyncratic matches. These are the books that other real readers have actually bought because they felt similar to the first book, as opposed to the publisher’s attempt to market the book to a particular audience. In other words, browsing the Kindle page for a favorite book is just like browsing the physical shelves in a store for more books by your favorite author.

There’s a line about secrets that really resonates with me: “We built our kingdom on lies, and then wondered why the walls kept crumbling.” This line really captures the entire plot. Everything – the relationships, the brotherhood, the love – is all rooted in something that is destined to decay. This line really captures that sense of frustration and despair, and the sense of inevitability. The characters are watching their world fall apart, and they know that they had this power to stop it – to fix it – but they didn’t.

Fleabag’s classic ‘I love you!’ ‘It’ll pass’ line is forever etched into our memories because it so accurately captures the moment of all-consuming love, followed inevitably by the passing of time. But above all, the show is wonderfully balanced between hilarious moments and moments of pure heartache – like this hairquote: ‘Hair is everything.’ Funny on the surface, yes, but also a wry commentary on how far we’d go for love. Every line is a punchline and a punch to the gut at the same time.

This quote is almost wistful. It’s the basis for his whole reason for being a hero. As a young boy he came up with the simple, yet reasonable, conclusion that “You can save more people if you’re fast” and that has remained the motivation for his actions as a hero throughout his life.
The quote is almost tragic in its purity. The child’s assertion makes sense, but we know from our adult perspective the horrific costs of acting on this which led to his break down and all of the moral compromises that he made along the way. This is the initial motivation for the man who wanted to be a hero, who could solve problems before they even became problems, and this wish drove him throughout his life.

Quoting kindness in niche quotes: Helen Oyeyemi’s ‘Gingerbread’ features this wonderful quote: ‘Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard.’ This is so relevant in our current tough and defensive world. Then there’s Murakami’s ‘Kafka on the Shore’, where it says: ‘And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through the storm. But you will barely remember the storm itself. I’ll never forget how many ways, wonders, and events have arrived at my house in the past few years. After not seeing my family for a while, I realized that the old me came back when I returned home. The memories, ideas, experiences, and moments remained vivid in my mind.’ Yet again, kindness in quotes. Survival of the collective kind is kindness too. These aren’t Hallcard quotes. They’re life lines written in beautiful prose.

His entrance quotes, a class by themselves, introduce the overpowering Escanor. It doesn’t matter that there’s no fight going on, for the presence of Escanor is a sufficient shift in the gravity of the story. And at this point, the quotes aren’t directed at any particular enemy, they’re declarations to the universe at large.
Before he begins to fight, Escanor’s entrance quotes set the scene. They are a promise of what is to come, a tone that is to be set, the stakes that are to be raised, and the inevitable outcome of it all. Good entrance quotes are promises of great things to come, and Escanor delivers every time.

Boa Hancock has some great lines as well, often to reflect her confidence and her love for Luffy. The lines “Love is a hurricane” and “Be grateful… for being allowed to be in my presence” are two of the many lines that she repeats throughout the story. A character who embodies supreme confidence would be the protagonist of the story “I Was Reborn As The Most Powerful Princess In History?!”. She is aware of her own extreme strength and recognizes her place, providing for some good laughs and insight into the situation as her internal monologues highlight the absurdity between her views and everyone else’s views of her.

I bookmark quotes. This list will include quotes that you can use as your profile pic. Yes, that easy. Huxley is one of my favorite authors. The following quotes have been collected for you to use as you see fit. Some of the quotes are direct pulls from his writing while others are merely paraphrased and included in various quote compilations. I have included my thoughts as to whether a quote is a direct pull or not after each quote.
Huxley: "The great tragedy of Science — the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact." A great line to pull out during debate, for it encapsulates Huxley’s view wonderfully. The other quote listed above is similarly sound for use as it constitutes a perfect rebuttal to someone who confuses science with mere opinion. That it comes from Huxley’s essays and lectures rather than from some insubstantial online quote book makes it that much better to use.
A lot of these quotes float around, including this: 'Try to learn something about everything and everything about something'. It looks and reads well enough to have been printed on the cover of a paperback or included in a set of lectures notes on Victorian literature, and I’ve certainly seen it attributed to Huxley in such contexts. Another favourite of skeptics is the section which describes the parasitic wasp in exacting detail and then uses this as a basis to discuss the problems of suffering in nature and religion. Again, the sentiment is true to form for Huxley, but as ever the catchiest phrases and most evocative imagery are prone to being somewhat amplified in quotation. As before, another good quote that is often attributed to Huxley is: 'It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and end as superstitions'. Again, I suspect this to be a rather condensed version of a longer quote or passage.
In terms of pasting to a profile, or to create a banner, it’s probably best to stick with the two quoted at the top. For a list of “things that Huxley could have said”, it’s generally okay to use these really nice-sounding paraphrases, provided you acknowledge the uncertainty somewhere. (As I said, I love these quotes for lots of reasons, not least that they force me to adopt a healthy skepticism to pretty ideas – a commodity in short supply.)

It's the one about forgetfulness. And it's even more powerful when you think of it in terms of real life too. That we live on in the memories of others is a lot of people's greatest comfort. Which is why the way One Piece dreams up the idea of people living on in the memories of others through dreams and wills is so cool. The will of Hiriluk lives on in Chopper, in the research he did, and in the cherry blossoms that bloom every year over the seat of the man's defeat: the castle. This is one of the profound moments of wisdom in One Piece, packaged up in a fun, adventurous story. And that's why I think it's so enduring. It's one of my top five anime/manga moments of all time.
