Eric Linklater
“...but the air's flat and stale and the people half-hearted. There's nothing to do there. You can make love without trouble or meaning, or get mildly drunk, or extract second-hand emotions from the cinema, or put your mind to sleep on a dance-floor, or play bridge, or throw yourself in front of a train on the Underground. There are forty ways of escaping from consciousness. But I want something more exciting than that.”
Eric Linklater, Magnus Merriman

Irvine Welsh
“Sometimes ah think that people become junkies just because they subconsciously crave a wee bit ay silence.”
Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

Ian Rankin
“And little girls went to charm schools. Now you've all got degrees from the University of Sarcasm.”
Ian Rankin, Set in Darkness

Julian Barnes
“How do you turn catastrophe into art? Nowadays the process is automatic. A nuclear plant explodes? We'll have a play on the London stage within a year. A President is assissinated? You can have the book or the film or the filmed book or booked film. War? Send in the novelists. A series of gruesome murders? Listen for the tramp of the poets. We have to understand it, of course, this catastrophe; to understand it, we have to imagine it, so we need the imaginative arts. But we also need to justify it and forgive it, this catastrophe, however minimally. Why did it happen, this mad act of Nature, this crazed human moment? Well, at least it produced art. Perhaps, in the end, that's what catastrophe is for.”
Julian Barnes, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters

Pearl Cleage
“Buying flowers is not just a way to bring home beauty. It's an expression of confidence that better days are coming. It's a defiant finger in the face of those naysayers who would have you believe your fortunes will never improve.”
Pearl Cleage, Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do
