“Thoughts which have no chance of succeeding do not take the trouble to come into your head at all.”
― Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman

“I have discovered that most people have no one to talk to, no one, that is, who really wants to listen.”
― Walker Percy, The Moviegoer

“I discovered that everything you do is in response to a request or a suggestion made to you by some other party either inside you or outside. Some of these suggestions are good and praiseworthy and some of them are undoubtedly delightful. But the majority of them are definitely bad and are pretty considerable sins as sins go.”
― Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman

“Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere.”
― Walker Percy, The Moviegoer
