Witold Gombrowicz
“Serious literature does not exist to make life easy but to complicate it.”
Witold Gombrowicz

Raymond Chandler
“In writing a novel, when in doubt, have two guys come through the door with guns.”
Raymond Chandler

Witold Gombrowicz
“Not surprisingly, because too much attention to one object leads to distraction, this one object conceals everything else, and when we focus on one point on the map we know that all other points are eluding us.”
Witold Gombrowicz, Cosmos

Erving Goffman
“And to the degree that the individual maintains a show before others that he himself does not believe, he can come to experience a special kind of alienation from self and a special kind of wariness of others.”
Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life

André Breton
“Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.”
André Breton
