James Joyce
“Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.”
James Joyce, Ulysses

Haruki Murakami
“The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you're supposed to go up and down when you're supposed to go down. When you're supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you're supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. When there's no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness.”
Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Haruki Murakami
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Virginia Woolf
“Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next. ”
Virginia Woolf , The Waves

Nick Hornby
“It's a mystery of human chemistry and I don't understand it, some people, as far as their senses are concerned, just feel like home.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
