Albert Camus
“I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

Walker Percy
“Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere.”
Walker Percy, The Moviegoer

Cormac McCarthy
“after a while someone asked the expriest if it were true that at one time there had been two moons in the sky and the expriest eyed the false moon above them and said that it may well have been so. But certainly the wise high God in his dismay at the proliferation of lunacy on this earth must have wetted a thumb and leaned down out of the abyss and pinched it hissing into extinction. And could he find some alter means by which the birds could mend their paths in the darkness he might have done with this one too.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West

Haruki Murakami
“Death leaves cans of shaving cream half-used.”
Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Walker Percy
“To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.”
Walker Percy, The Moviegoer
