Ottessa Moshfegh
“And anyway, there is no comfort here on Earth. There is pretending, there are words, but there is no peace. Nothing is good here. Nothing. Every place you go on Earth, there is more nonsense.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Homesick for Another World

A.J. Hackwith
“Stories can die. Of course they can. Ask any author who's had an idea wither in their head, fail to thrive and bear fruit. Or a book that spoke to you as a child but upon revisiting it was silent and empty. Stories can die from neglect, from abuse, from rot. Even war, as Shakespeare warned, can turn books to graves.
We seek to preserve the books, of course. But we forget the flip side of that duty: treasure what we have. Honor the stories that speak to you, that give you something you need to keep going. Cherish stories while they are here.
There's a reason the unwritten live on something as fragile as paper.”
A.J. Hackwith, The Library of the Unwritten

Douglas Adams
“Alltami (n.)

The ancient art of being able to balance the hot and cold shower taps.”
Douglas Adams, The Deeper Meaning of Liff: A Dictionary of Things There Aren't Any Words for Yet--But There Ought to Be

Chuck Palahniuk
“Death is a long process," Archer says. "Your body is just the first part of you that croaks." Meaning: Beyond that, your dreams have to die. Then your expectations. And your anger about investing a lifetime in learning shit and loving people and earning money, only to have all that crap come to basically nothing. Really, your physical body dying is the easy part. Beyond that, your memories must die. And your ego. Your pride and shame and ambition and hope, all that Personal Identity Crap can take centuries to expire.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“Well, look who I ran into,"
crowed Coincidence.
"Please," flirted Fate, "this
was meant to be.”
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, Vol. 1
