David Foster Wallace
“Trent Kite told Fackelmann he thought Gately was out of his fucking mind. Fax observed that Kite himself was not exactly a W. T. Sherman with the ladies, even with coke-whores and strung-out nursing students and dipsoid lounge-hags whose painted faces swung loose from their heads. Fackelmann claimed to have started a Log just to keep track of Kite’s attempted pickup lines—surefire lines like e.g. ‘You’re the second most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, the first most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen being former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,’ and ‘If you came home with me I’m unusually confident that I could achieve an erection,’ and said that if Kite wasn’t still cherry at twenty-three and a half it was proof of some kind of divine-type grace.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Leo Tolstoy
“In solitude he brooded on the same inexplicable question: 'What is this? Can it really be death?' And an inner voice would reply, 'Yes, that's what it is.' 'What is this torture for?' And the voice would reply, "It's just there. It's not for anything.' Above and beyond this there was nothing.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

Mosab Abu Toha
“Borders are those invented lines drawn with ash on maps and sewn into the ground by bullets.”
Mosab Abu Toha, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza
