Thom Jones
“A friend of mine in the ER told me that the animal consciousness is one of the here-and-now and that the human being can approximate it by drinking five martinis while soaking in a hot tub.”
Thom Jones, The Pugilist at Rest

Ben Fountain
“Fear is the mother of all emotion. Before love, hate, spite, grief, rage, and all the rest, there was fear, and fear gave birth to them all, and ask every combat soldier knows there are as many incarnations and species of fear as the Eskimo language has words for snow.”
Ben Fountain, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

Mark Vonnegut
“We're here to get each other through this thing, whatever it is.”
Mark Vonnegut

Philip K. Dick
“I became educated to the fact that the greatest pain does not come zooming down from a distant planet, but from the depths of the heart. Of course, both could happen; your wife and child could leave you, and you could be sitting alone in your empty house with nothing to live for, and in addition the Martians could bore through the roof and get you.”
Philip K. Dick, A Little Something For Us Tempunauts
