Robert Penn Warren
“There was nothing particularly wrong with them; they were just the ordinary garden variety of human garbage.”
Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

Karl Marx
“The very same bourgeois mentality which extols the manufacturing division of labour, the life-long annexation of the worker to a partial operation, and the unconditional subordination of the detail worker to capital, extols them as an organisation of labour which increases productivity - denounces just as loudly every kind of deliberate social control and regulation of the social process of production, denounces it as an invasion of the inviolable property rights, liberty and self-determining genius of the individual capitalist. It is characteristic that the inspired apologists of the factory system can find nothing worse to say of any proposal for the general organisation of social labour, than that it would transform the whole of society into a factory.”
Karl Marx, Das Kapital

Roald Dahl
“The little pig began to pray
But Wolfie blew his house away.
He shouted, "Bacon, Pork, and Ham!
Oh what a lucky wolf I am!"
And though he ate the pig quite fast,
He carefully kept the tail till last.”
Roald Dahl, Revolting Rhymes

Steve Snyder
“Flak accounted for far more air crew casualties than German fighters and took down more American planes than the fighters.”
Steve Snyder, Shot Down: The true story of pilot Howard Snyder and the crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth

Sara Pascoe
“The summer sun bowing out threw slashes of colour between the buildings. London looked big, empty, and lonely. She stood in the doorway, like a cat trying to make up its mind.”
Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For
