― G.K. Chesterton

“Oh Christ, the exhaustion of not knowing anything. It's so tiring and hard on the nerves. It really takes it out of you, not knowing anything. You're given comedy and miss all the jokes. Every hour you get weaker. Sometimes, as I sit alone in my flat in London and stare at the window, I think how dismal it is, how heavy, to watch the rain and not know why it falls.”
― Martin Amis, Money: A Suicide Note

“I did not attend his funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.”
― Mark Twain

“Nice things are nicer than nasty ones.”
― Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim
