“He was a heartless monster, she told him; did he not understand --O abominable one!--that human life was short and that each day of love stolen from it was a crime against life itself?”
― Salman Rushdie, Quichotte

“BE A LAWYER in a lawless time was like being a clown among the humorless: which was to say, either completely redundant or absolutely essential.”

“You sit at the edge of the world, I am in a crater that's no more.
 
Words without letters
 
Standing in the shadow of the door.
 
The moon shines down on a sleeping lizard, Little fish rain down from the sky.
 
Outside the window there are soldiers, steeling themselves to die.
 
(Refrain)
 
Kafka sits in a chair by the shore, Thinking of the pendulum that moves the world, it seems.
 
When your heart is closed, The shadow of the unmoving Sphinx, Becomes a knife that pierces your dreams.
 
The drowning girl's fingers
 
Search for the entrance stone, and more.
 
Lifting the hem of her azure dress, She gazes—at Kafka on the shore.”
― Haruki Murakami

“MR. L. PROSSER was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based bipedal life form descended from an ape. More specifically he was forty, fat and shabby and worked for the local council.”
― Douglas Adams, Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Book 1 of 3
