David  Mitchell
“Whoever opined "Money can't buy you happiness" obviously had far too much of the stuff.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

David  Mitchell
“I elbowed my way into the grubby café, bought a pie that tasted of shoe polish and a pot of tea with cork crumbs floating in it, and eavesdropped on a pair of Shetland pony breeders. Despondency makes one hanker after lives one never led. Why have you given your life to books, TC? Dull, dull, dull! The memoirs are bad enough, but all that ruddy fiction! Hero goes on a journey, stranger comes to town, somebody wants something, they get it or they don't, will is pitted against will. "Admire me, for I am a metaphor.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Spencer Wells
“Creativity is imagining something that isn't there and making it real.”
Spencer Wells, Pandora's Seed: The Unforeseen Cost of Civilization

David  Mitchell
“Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. Rome'll decline and fall again, Cortés'll lay Tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, Ewing will sail again, Adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and I'll sleep under the Corsican stars again, I'll come to Bruges again, fall in and out of love with Eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. Nietzsche's gramophone record. When it ends, the Old One plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“One fine day a predatory world shall consume itself.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
