Thomas Pynchon
“All the time we were growing up," Frank said, "you wanted to run away and join the carnival?"
"Yes, and there I was with all o' you, right in the carnival, and didn't even know it." And he hoped he'd always be able to recall the way she laughed then.”
Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

Thomas Pynchon
“Laboring through a world every day more stultified, which expected salvation in codes and governments, ever more willing to settle for suburban narratives and diminished payoffs--what were the chances of finding anyone else seeking to transcend that, and not even particularly aware of it?”
Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

Erich Fromm
“One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.”
Erich Fromm

Herman Melville
“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, "It might have been.”
Kurt Vonnegut
