Book cover for Чапаев и Пустота
Мы в Японии производим лучшие телевизоры в мире, но это не мешает нам осознавать, что телевизор — это просто маленькое прозрачное окошко в трубе духовного мусоропровода.

“Если мы поймем, насколько недавно так называемые человеческие расы отделились от общего африканского предка, и измерим крохотные генетические различия между ними, мы сможем наконец осознать, что расизм — бич человеческих отношений на протяжении многих веков — не имеет никаких оснований.”
Карл Циммер

Truman Capote
“Just remember: If one bird carried every grain of sand, grain by grain, across the ocean, by the time he got them all on the other side, that would only be the beginning of eternity. So blow your nose.” THE”
Truman Capote, In Cold Blood

“Кажущаяся безмятежность природы скрывает под собой постоянное массовое убийство.”
Карл Циммер

Truman Capote
“Why? Why this unreasonable anger at the sight of others who are happy or content, this growing contempt for people and the desire to hurt them? All right, you think they’re fools, you despise them because their morals, their happiness is the source of your frustration and resentment. But these are dreadful enemies you carry within yourself—in time destructive as bullets. Mercifully, a bullet kills its victim. This other bacteria, permitted to age, does not kill a man but leaves in its wake the hulk of a creature torn and twisted; there is still fire within his being but it is kept alive by casting upon it faggots of scorn and hate. He may successfully accumulate, but he does not accumulate success, for he is his own enemy and is kept from truly enjoying his achievements.” Perry,”
Truman Capote, In Cold Blood

Thomas Pynchon
“Never mind. Just be advised, boys,” she said, “you’ll want to watch your step, ’cause what I am is, is like a small-diameter pearl of the Orient rolling around on the floor of late capitalism—lowlifes of all income levels may step on me now and then but if they do it’ll be them who slip and fall and on a good day break their ass, while the ol’ pearl herself just goes a-rollin on.”
Thomas Pynchon, Inherent Vice
