Raymond Chandler
“It had the austere simplicity of fiction rather than the tangled woof of fact.”
Raymond Chandler "The Big Sleep"

“Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary - it is the respective proportion of those two categories that make that life appear interesting or humdrum.”
William Boyd, Any Human Heart

Vladimir Nabokov
“Dimly, I recall running up to his chair to show him a pretty pebble, which he slowly examined and then slowly put into his mouth.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory

David Foster Wallace
“If you spend enough time reading or writing, you find a voice, but you also find certain tastes. You find certain writers who when they write, it makes your own brain voice like a tuning fork, and you just resonate with them. And when that happens, reading those writers—not all of whom are modern . . . I mean, if you are willing to make allowances for the way English has changed, you can go way, way back with this— becomes a source of unbelievable joy. It’s like eating candy for the soul. So probably the smart thing to say is that lucky people develop a relationship with a certain kind of art that becomes spiritual, almost religious, and doesn’t mean, you know, church stuff, but it means you’re just never the same.”
David Foster Wallace, Quack This Way

“Isn't this how life turns out, more often than not? It refuses to conform to your needs – the narrative needs that you feel are essential to give rough shape to your time on this earth.”
William Boyd
