David Foster Wallace
“You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Thomas Pynchon
“Don't forget the real business of war is buying and selling. The murdering and violence are self-policing, and can be entrusted to non-professionals. The mass nature of wartime death is useful in many ways. It serves as spectacle, as diversion from the real movements of the War. It provides raw material to be recorded into History, so that children may be taught History as sequences of violence, battle after battle, and be more prepared for the adult world. Best of all, mass death's a stimolous to just ordinary folks, little fellows, to try 'n' grab a piece of that Pie while they're still here to gobble it up. The true war is a celebration of markets.”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

David  Lynch
“Even bad coffee is better than no coffee at all.”
David Lynch

David Foster Wallace
“That there might not be angels, but there are people who might as well be angels.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Anton Chekhov
“Only during hard times do people come to understand how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts.”
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
