Saul Bellow
“I am an American, Chicago born – Chicago, that somber city – and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent. But a man's character is his fate, says Heraclitus, and in the end there isn't any way to disguise the nature of the knocks by acoustical work on the door or gloving the knuckles.”
Saul Bellow, The Adventures of Augie March

P.G. Wodehouse
“What's the use of a great city having temptations if fellows don't yield to them?”
P.G. Wodehouse, Carry On, Jeeves

John Updike
“The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding.”
John Updike

Christopher Hitchens
“Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that's where it should stay.”
Christopher Hitchens

Honoré de Balzac
“Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.”
