Anthony Burgess
“If all you bastards are on the side of God then I'm glad I belong to the other shop.”
Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

Franz Kafka
“I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

Martin Amis
“In freedom, every non-nomenklatura citizen knew perpetual hunger – the involuntary slurp and gulp of the esophagus. In camp, your hunger kicked as I imagine a fetus would kick. It was the same with boredom. And boredom, by now, has lost all its associations with mere lassitude and vapidity. Boredom is no longer the absence of emotion; it is itself an emotion, and a violent one. A silent tantrum of boredom.”
Martin Amis, House of Meetings

Douglas Coupland
“I'd sooner have died than admit that the most valuable thing I owned was a fairly extensive collection of German industrial music dance mix EP records stored for even further embarrassment under a box of crumbling Christmas tree ornaments in a Portland, Oregon basement. So I told him I owned nothing of any value.”
Douglas Coupland, Generatie X: vertellingen voor een versnelde cultuur

“He had done nothing on Christmas day, just wandered around outside in the frozen woods. Hard ground, chill winds and bare branches that looked like they'd been dipped in sugar. None of it seemed real, like walking around in a desolate dream, but one he didn't want to wake up from.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree
