As the bus entered the prefectural capital of Takamatsu, garden subrubs transformed into city streets of multicolored neon, headlights of oncoming cars, and checkered lights of office buildings.
-Battle Royale - Koushun Takami

A great book, though I wasn't sure if I should take it from the prologue, the introduction, or the first actual chapter. The one I put up is from the first chapter.

"The French Revolution was bloody, violent, theatrical, and populated with characters who rivet the imagination."
(The French Revolution, by Owen Connelly and Fred Hembree)

I have to read this book for my World Civ. II class.

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.

"He did not wear a scarlet coat,
For blood and wine are red,
And blood and wine were on his hands
When they found him with the dead,
The poor dead woman whom he loved,
And murdered in her bed."

-Oscar Wilde The Ballad of Reading Gaol
