Thomas Pynchon
“In the buses all night she listened to transistor radios playing songs in the lower stretches of the Top 200, that would never become popular, whose melodies and lyrics would perish as if they had never been sung. A Mexican girl, trying to hear one of these through snarling static from the bus’s motor, hummed along as if she would remember it always, tracing post horns and hearts with a fingernail, in the haze of her breath on the window.”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Alan             Moore
“Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.”
Alan Moore, Watchmen

Jean Rhys
“If I was bound for hell, let it be hell. No more false heavens. No more damned magic.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

Samuel Beckett
“I say to myself—sometimes, Clov, you must learn to suffer better than that if you want them to weary of punishing you—one day. I say to myself—sometimes, Clov, you must be better than that if you want them to let you go—one day. But I feel too old, and too far, to form new habits. Good, it'll never end, I'll never go.”
Samuel Beckett, Endgame

Thomas Pynchon
“Such a captive maiden, having plenty of time to think, soon realizes that her tower, its height and architecture, are like her ego only incidental: that what really keeps her where she is is magic, anonymous and malignant, visited on her from outside and for no reason at all. Having no apparatus except gut fear and female cunning to examine this formless magic, to understand how it works, how to measure its field strength, count its lines of force, she may fall back on superstition, or take up a useful hobby like embroidery, or go mad, or marry a disk jockey. If the tower is everywhere and the knight of deliverance no proof against its magic, what else?”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49
