“Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Hunter S. Thompson
“I was asleep when our plane hit the runway, but the jolt brought me instantly awake. I looked out the window and saw the Rocky Mountains. What the fuck was I doing here? I wondered. It made no sense at all. I decided to call my attorney as soon as possible. Have him wire me some money to buy a huge albino Doberman. Denver is a national clearing house for stolen Dobermans; they come from all parts of the country.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

Roald Dahl
“A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, 'Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat.”
Roald Dahl

Anne Frank
“I keep my ideals because in spite of everything I still believe that people are good at heart.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Jane Smiley
“Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book.”
