Lord Byron
“To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.”
Lord Byron

Saul Bellow
“One thought-murder a day keeps the psychiatrist away.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

Jonathan Franzen
“Power, power, power: how could the world be organized around the struggle for a thing so lonely and oppressive in the having of it?”
Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Ali Smith
“I wished I was old. I was tired of being so young, so stupidly knowing, so stupidly forgetful. I was tired of having to be anything at all. I felt like the Internet, full of every kind of information but none of it mattering more than any of it, and all of its little links like thin white roots on a broken plant dug out of the soil, lying drying on its side. And whenever I tried to access myself, whenever I'd try to click on me, try to go any deeper than a single fast-loading page on Facebook or MySpace, it was as if I knew that one morning I'd wake up and try to log on to find that not even that version of I existed any more, because the servers all over the world were all down. And that's how rootless. And that's how fragile.”
Ali Smith, Girl Meets Boy

Ian McEwan
“These were everyday sounds magnified by darkness. And darkness was nothing - it was not a substance, it was not a presence, it was no more than an absence of light.”
Ian McEwan, Atonement
