Nick Hornby
“One has so many more opinions about what has gone wrong than about what is perfect.”
Nick Hornby, 31 Songs

J.D. Salinger
“I'm not afraid to compete. It's just the opposite. Don't you see that? I'm afraid I will compete — that's what scares me. That's why I quit the Theatre Department. Just because I'm so horribly conditioned to accept everybody else's values, and just because I like applause and people to rave about me, doesn't make it right. I'm ashamed of it. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. I'm sick of myself and everybody else that wants to make some kind of a splash.”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Edwin A. Abbott
“The whole of the Targum deserves study as shewing how textual ambiguity or corruption may combine with doctrinal prepossession to modify tradition;
Chapter II, Section 2, Paragraph 1171”
Edwin A. Abbott, Paradosis; or, in the Night in which he was Betrayed

Markus Zusak
“I think she ate a salad and some soup.
And loneliness.
She ate that, too. ”
Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

Albert Camus
“The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
