“A boomerang returns back to the person who throws it.

But first, while moving in a circle, it hits its target.

So does gossip.”

“The moon seems unaware
of night's dark hitting
on the damp warm rain
misguiding owl's spitting
A thunder light of love
raising hearts beating
while weather learns more
from rain lovers meeting”
Munia Khan

Tammy Blackwell
“I don’t like seeing you hit.”
“Well, to be quite honest, I don’t like being hit unless it’s by you.” As soon as it was out of my mouth, I realized what I had said. “That sounded all sorts of wrong.”
“Insanely so, actually.”
“To be clear,” I said to any overhearing ears, “I hit him back--”
“Hard.”
“It’s a very give-and-take, non-abuse type hitting situation…”
The sides of Liam’s mouth folded up like an accordion. “You should probably stop now.”

Antonella Gambotto-Burke
“What does a woman feel when she is hit? My mother slapped me when I was a child - on two occasions, to the point of pure hysteria; I never liked it. Those who are humiliated in such a way learn to disintegrate – that is, they become once removed from pain. This is the most direct route to psychic ruin.”
Antonella Gambotto-Burke, The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide

“His hands struck her any hour of the day, like hands that strike a clock, whether early, whether late; they strike, they strike.”

Adam Berlin
“He can hit a man in the liver so the blood flow stops. It takes a full second before the pain registers and the man falls. I've seen Billy hook men's livers and punch at their hearts. I've seen him break a man's nose in the ring, shatter an eardrum, close an eye. I've seen him hit a man so hard, fist to jaw, the man seemed to fall asleep before he fell, his body so relaxed his face looked calm even when his head slammed against canvas.”
Adam Berlin, Both Members of the Club: A Novella

Anthony Liccione
“It's better to look at a black and white world, rather than black and blue.”
Anthony Liccione

“... violence is an ugly thing and in the calmer moments I racked my brains for other ways to get what I wanted. Better a brain than a fist. A brain can hold anything, from giant things like distant stars and planets, to tiny things we can't see, like germs. ... A brain can hold a whole universe, a fist just holds what little it can grab. Or hits what it can't.”
C.A. Fletcher

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“A man hits you once and apologizes and you think it will never happen again. But then you tell him you're not sure you ever want a family, and he hits you once more. You tell yourself it's understandable, what he did. You were sort of rude, the way you said it.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Deyth Banger
“People die from hitting the wall, they hit it again and again...
...
one moment it ends all and they die!”
Deyth Banger

Christina Engela
“The reason for the peculiar name could be found in the whimsical sense of humor of the early colonists who arrived on Deanna several decades in the past and found very little at all there to laugh at. Obsidian Crows might seem funny at first, unless you just happened to ride over one with your Jeepo five miles out of town and didn’t have a spare tire. Although there was a reasonable expectation of hitting one of these diminutive brutes on the roads, this did not happen nearly as often as you might think.”
Christina Engela, Dead Man's Hammer

Christina Engela
“Now I don’t know how many people like to drive a Beetle at that kind of speed (on purpose) but I know I’d rather go down Brickmaker’s Kloof on a bicycle with no brakes! Driving any car at that speed in anything other than an expensive German luxury car on a long, straight autobahn is enough of a risk (let alone the risk of hitting anything) – but if you try that with a Beetle and add a light crosswind, factor in some rubber peeling off your tire, and you’ll more than likely find yourself dancing alone in a dark corner without any music.”
Christina Engela, Bugspray

Jordan Sonnenblick
“Others...are so sure the world is full of nothing but bullies that they become bullies themselves, trying to hit everyone in the world first. But a life of getting in the first shot isn't a life. Not really, anyway.”
Jordan Sonnenblick, The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade

Joe Abercrombie
“Didn't want to kill him, but in her experience it was far better to hit a man too hard than not hard enough.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Wisdom of Crowds

Steven Magee
“The idea of low offers when home buying is to find someone who needs to sell because they need the cash as soon as possible. Hitting multiple people with low offers is how you find the motivated sellers.”
Steven Magee
