David Benioff
“I've always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the floorboards of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up in a steamer trunk at the foot of the bed.”
David Benioff, City of Thieves

Robert Lacey
“Of all the varieties of modern pollution, noise is the most insidious.”
Robert Lacey, The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium, An Englishman's World

J.G. Ballard
“If their work is satisfying people don't need leisure in the old-fashioned sense. No one ever asks what Newton or Darwin did to relax, or how Bach spent his weekends. At Eden-Olympia work is the ultimate play, and play the ultimate work.”
J.G. Ballard, Super-Cannes

M.T. Anderson
“He was possessed of a belief that nothing existed, or to be more precise, that only when things were perceived could we be sure that they existed. He troubled himself in arguments, therefore, that when he was not in his chamber, and no one else was in his chamber, there was no one who could say beyond a shadow of a doubt that his desk still existed... or that the bed had not simply frayed into atoms...[Dr. 03-01] developed the habit of quietly leaving company quite suddenly and charging above-stairs to his bedchamber, throwing open the door, and crying "Ah ha!" He found, always, that matter had retained its dubious solidity in his absence; but this did not deter him.”
M.T. Anderson, The Pox Party

“The difference between men I have camped with and myself, generally speaking,' Mary Roberts Reinhart wrote, 'has been this: they have called it sport; I have known it as work.”
Warren James Belasco, Americans on the Road: From Autocamp to Motel, 1910-1945
