Thomas Pynchon
“What? -- RICHARD M NIXON”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

Kentaro Miura
“In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will. Man takes up the sword in order to shield the small wound in his heart sustained in a far-off time beyond remembrance. Man wields the sword so that he may die smiling in some far-off time beyond perception.”
Kentaro Miura, Berserk, Vol. 1

Stephen  King
“have great power, and everyone knows one or two.” “Even me,” Eddie said. “For instance, why did the dead baby cross the road?” “That’s dumb, Eddie,” Susannah said, but she was smiling. “Because it was stapled to the chicken!” Eddie yelled, and grinned when Jake burst into laughter, knocking his little pile of kindling apart.”
Stephen King, The Waste Lands

Thomas Pynchon
“SEA CHANTY
I'm the Pirate Queen of the Baltic Run, and nobody fucks
with me--
And those who've tried are bones and skulls, and lie beneath
the sea.
And the little fish like messengers swim in and out their eyes,
Singing, "Fuck ye not with Gory Gnahb and her desperate
enterprise!"
I'll tangle with a battleship, I'll massacre a sloop,
I've sent a hundred souls to hell in one relentless swoop--
I've seen the Flying Dutchman, and each time we pass, he cries,
"Oh, steer me clear of Gory Gnahb, and her desperate
enterprise!”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

Harlan Ellison
“A smartass once accused me of being subtle. I decked him with a short right over the heart and an elbow in the trachea.”
Harlan Ellison, From the Land of Fear
