Sherman Alexie
“So, yeah, honestly speaking, fuck you, Xavier, and the farm-raised salmon you rode in on.”
Sherman Alexie, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
tags: humor

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“As for poetry, ma'am, it's pure nonsense, ma'am. Judge for yourself: who in the world talks in rhymes? And if we all started speaking in rhymes, even by order of the authorities, would we ever say very much, ma'am? Poetry's a waste of time”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Patrick Süskind
“Unlike flowers, the animals he tried to macerate would not yield up their scent without complaints or with a mute sigh — they fought desperately against death…and in their fear of death created large quantities of sweat whose acidity ruined the warm oil… The objects would have to be quieted down, and so suddenly that they would have no time to become afraid or to resist. He would have to kill them.”
Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Thomas Pynchon
“You guys … So hung up with words, words. … The words, who cares? They're rote noises to hold line bashes with, to get past the bone barriers around an actor's memory, right? But the reality is in this head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium. … You could waste your life that way and never touch the truth.”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“...you should know that in truth everyone is guilty before everyone else and for everything.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
