M.A. McRae“Dad fastens his knife jacket before putting his black pea coat on. He’s like a walking armoury. He has two guns on either side of his chest secured in his black shoulder holsters, an array of magazines on his belt and of course the knives. I don’t need to check to know he has two more guns strapped to both his legs. With his dark coat on, dark jeans and boots, and his weapons hidden away, he looks imposing but harmless. Unsuspecting people would never think of him otherwise.He cocks his head. “Too much?” he asks.”
M. Rees, Insight“Being a Falconer is about saving the buggers even if they don't deserve it." - Farlan MacNeil”
Edwin McRae, The Falconers: Fort Eden“While science can be many things, above all it is a way for our mistake-making, illusion-prone, storytelling brains to compare different methods for describing nature.”
Mike McRae, Tribal Science: Brains, Beliefs and Bad Ideas“Scientific literacy is a rather noble ideal. Achieving it, however, is problematic thanks to our tribal brains. If science is equated with knowledge, then communicating facts, figures, and theories should be a way to increase the public’s level of engagement with it. However, this boils down to the authority distributing the information. Who do you listen to when there are conflicting sources? Our brain’s desire for certainty and its tendency to evaluate new information based on social clues means anybody painted as an expert, who sounds confident, shares our values and flatters our expectations, is more likely to win over our opinion...regardless of the scientific merits of their argument.”
Mike McRae, Tribal Science: Brains, Beliefs, and Bad Ideas“He is the light in my life and the rock beneath my feet. (Referring to the Lord Jesus)”
Kimberly McRae, Living by Faith: Beginning Your Walk as a New Believer“The importance of knowing for certain that you have been saved cannot be understated. We do not know how many days, hours, or minutes God has granted us here to have an opportunity to make a choice.”
Kimberly McRae, Living by Faith: Beginning Your Walk as a New Believer“I felt afraid. No one would know that, not Mother and not Mike. I’d keep the fear pushed down inside of me, and no one would know it was there. “I’m awfully happy,” I wrote. I was. Awfully happy and awfully in love, and tomorrow I was marrying Mike.”
Benedict Freedman, Mrs. Mike“Do you remember the time, Mike,” Jeremy laughed, “that you put a banana down your pants and walked up to the Palma-nator. It looked like you had one hell of a hard-on.”
Buffy Andrews, Gina and Mike“One of the things I love about labeling myself as an author is that I can read books and call it "researching writing styles."--Mike Mankoff”
