Albert Camus
“What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.”
Albert Camus

Daniel Quinn
“If you alone found out what the lie was, then you're probably right—it would make no great difference. But if you ALL found out what the lie was, it might conceivably make a very great difference indeed.”
Daniel Quinn, Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit

Michael Ondaatje
“You built your walls too, she tells him. So I have my wall. She says it glittering in a beauty he cannot stand. She with her beautiful clothes with her pale face that laughs at everyone who smiles at her...”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

George R.R. Martin
“Asha Greyjoy did not intend to be taken alive. She would die as she had lived, with an axe in her hand and a laugh upon her lips.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

Richard  Adams
“He was after a sensational story and this, of course, could not be constructed out of mere truth; not out of officially released truth, anyway. It was essential that the news-reading public should feel, first, that the community was in danger and secondly that people—well-off people, “official” people—who ought to have known better, were to blame for it.”
Richard Adams, The Plague Dogs
