I had nightmares about my eye being pulled out of my head, dreams reminiscent of Un Chien Andalou, the Surrealist film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, in which a cloud slicing across the full moon becomes a razor blade slicing through an eye” .
Salman Rushdie, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder

The whole affair was seemingly a replay of some sentimental act he had dreamed up in his battle-weary mind, half-asleep and half-wired in waiting out the night in the rubble of a compromised safe house halfway across the world. Part of him wondered if this was nothing more than the vivid delusion stretching out the faint but escalating whistle between the click of the enemy gun and the bullet exiting the back of his skull.
Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause
