“It has all gone so fast, Duke. Like a dream. How is it the days crawl by and yet the years fly?”
― Lawrence Sanders, The Anderson Tapes

“Standing there alone, I always felt sad, a deep sadness I'd felt before, long, long ago. I remembered that sadness very well. A sadness that can't be explained, that doesn't melt away over time, that quietly leaves invisible wounds, in a place you cannot see. And how can you deal with something you can't see?”
― Haruki Murakami, The City and Its Uncertain Walls

“With enough revolutions and elections, enough transfers of power, eventually a madman would take the reins. It was inevitable.”
― Hugh Howey, The Silo Saga Omnibus

“Obviously, my daily life and the events in my dreams are far apart—as different as a subway and a balloon. And just like everybody else, I’m captive to everyday life, clinging to the humble surface of the earth. Even the most powerful person, or the richest, can’t escape that gravity.”
― Haruki Murakami, The City and Its Uncertain Walls
