John Carey

Emil M. Cioran
“Melancholy: an appetite no misery satisfies.”
Emil Cioran, All Gall is Divided: Aphorisms

James Rebanks
“Later I would understand that modern industrial communities are obsessed with the importance of ‘going somewhere’ and ‘doing something with your life’. The implication is an idea I have come to hate, that staying local and doing physical work doesn’t count for much.”
James Rebanks, The Shepherd's Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape

Spike Milligan
“The die was cast. It was a proud day for the Milligan family as I was taken from the house. “I’m too young to go,” I screamed as Military Policemen dragged me from my pram, clutching a dummy. At Victoria Station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked “This is your enemy.” I searched every compartment, but he wasn’t on the train.”
Spike Milligan, Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall

Jennifer Johnston
“There are lots of people who rewrite their past and, what’s more, believe it themselves. Now that is odd.”
Jennifer Johnston, Two Moons: A poignant, witty Irish novel of mothers, daughters - and betrayal
