Kieron Gillen
“After all, nostalgia is an emotion for people with no future.”
Kieron Gillen, Phonogram, Vol. 1: Rue Britannia

Larry McMurtry
“She didn’t know what to do with the severed leg. She had cut it off, but she didn’t want to touch it or even look at it.”
Larry McMurtry, Streets Of Laredo

Rebecca Stead
“Boredom is what happens to people who have no control over their minds.”
Rebecca Stead, Liar & Spy

Nicholson Baker
“Carpe diem' doesn't mean seize the day--it means something gentler and more sensible. 'Carpe diem' means pluck the day. Carpe, pluck. Seize the day would be "cape diem," if my school Latin servies. No R. Very different piece of advice. What Horace had in mind was that you should gently pull on the day's stem, as if it were, say, a wildflower or an olive, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things--so that the day's stalk or stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a thinness, and a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, perhaps leaking a little milky sap, and the flower, or the fruit, is released in your hand. Pluck the cranberry or blueberry of the day tenderly free without damaging it, is what Horace meant--pick the day, harvest the day, reap the day, mow the day, forage the day. Don't freaking grab the day in your fist like a burger at a fairground and take a big chomping bite out of it. That's not the kind of man that Horace was.”
Nicholson Baker, The Anthologist

Terry Pratchett
“Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.”
Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
