Martin Amis
“And Keith felt it again (he felt it several times a day): the tingle of license. Everyone could swear now, if they wanted to. The word *fuck* was available to both sexes. It was like a sticky toy, and it was there if you wanted it.”
Martin Amis, The Pregnant Widow

J.G. Ballard
“Given that external reality
is a fiction, the writer's role
is almost superfluous. He
does not need to invent the
fiction because it is already
there.”
J. G. Ballard

Paul Auster
“یه مرضی هست به نام "یعنی الآن داره چی کار میکنه؟" و این باعث میشه نتونی هیچ وقت فراموشش کنی”
Paul Auster

“Scholars have argued that without humanism the Reformation could not have succeeded, and it is certainly difficult to imagine the Reformation occurring without the knowledge of languages, the critical handling of sources, the satirical attacks on clerics and scholastics, and the new national feeling that a generation of humanists provided. On the other hand, the long-term success of the humanists owed something to the Reformation. In Protestant schools and universities classical culture found a permanent home. The humanist curriculum, with its stress on languages and history, became a lasting model for the arts curriculum.”
Steven Ozment, The Age of Reform 1250-1550: An Intellectual and Religious History of Late Medieval and Reformation Europe

Donna Tartt
“I suppose there is a certain crucial interval in everyone’s life when character is fixed forever;”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
