Quotes from Harlen Coben's novel " Tell No One"
"the overriding lesson was simply this: You could trust nature but not man."
"Fleeing was a great plan, but a destination would make it even better."
"Night has taken serious hold, blanketing the manicured grounds. The crickets hummed an almost pretty melody, as though the super-rich could even manipulate that. Tinkling piano music spilled from the sliding doors. Lights from inside the house provided a modicum of illumination, casting shadows of burnt red and yellow."
"The wind blew, the trees danced, the purple-orange of sunset was starting to give way to a polished pewter."
"I ran then. Branches whipped my face. I didn't care. My legs begged me to let up. I paid them no heed. My lungs protested. I told them to toughen up. When I finally made the right at the semi-phallic rock and rounded my path's corner, the tree was still there. I moved closer and felt my eyes start to well up."
I especially like the second quote and the first part of the last one.
