“Start admiring the vastness of the forest and a tree will surely fall on you, bashing your skull for the crime of perspective.”
― David Benioff, The 25th Hour

“Surely in this vale of tears we call life, the ill, the halt, and the lame find it curious that some people with constitutions like bull calves sometimes consider their good health and strength a curse rather than a blessing. It can be, though. In fistfights, even beaten senseless, we don't fall down nearly soon enough; the joys of drug abuse don't seem to take their proper toll; and, sometimes, when we try to drink ourselves to death, we fail miserably. Miserably.”
― James Crumley, Dancing Bear

“I always knew I'd be killed by a cliché.”
― James Crumley, The Mexican Tree Duck

“You are summoned for no reason other than that you are a Jew, as if "Jew" were a mass term comparable, say, to "water" or "salt." Here is a bit of water, we say, and any sample of it will do. All water manifests itself the same interchangeable water properties. That a Nazi should think this way about Jews is not in the least surprising. Mass terms, mass murders, mass graves: they are all of a piece.”
― Rebecca Goldstein, The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness
