Thomas Nagel
“If we tried to rely entirely on reason and pressed it hard, our lives and beliefs would collapse – a form of madness that may actually occur if the inertial force of taking the world and life for granted is somehow lost. If we lose our grip on that, reason will not give it back to us.”
Thomas Nagel

Aldous Huxley
“But if one doesn't really exist, one wonders why..." she hesitated.
"Why one makes such a fuss about things," Anthony suggested. "All that howling and hurrahing and gnashing of teeth. About the adventures of a self that isn't really a self—just the result of a lot of accidents. And of course," he went on, "once you start wondering, you see at once that there is no reason for making such a fuss. And then you don't make a fuss—that is, if you're sensible. Like me," he added, smiling.”
Aldous Huxley, Eyeless in Gaza

Marcus Aurelius
“Whatever happens at all happens as it should; you will find this true, if you watch narrowly.”
Marcus Aurelius

Robertson Davies
“What had Pledger-Brown said? "Too bad, Davey; he wanted blood and all we could offer was guts.”
Robertson Davies, The Manticore

Daniel Clowes
“Bring me your Nortons, your Kramdens, your housewives, and sewermen.
Weight my limbs with the nests of your flotsam, that we may chirp in chorus this melancholy anthem.
Mourn with your busdriver piety this sapless husk;
dull with your tender hymn the string of the lumberman's axe.”
Daniel Clowes
