Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“He would later say of his performance: "It was the world that had suffered the nervous breakdown. I was just having fun in a nightmare”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Timequake

Lord Dunsany
“They were no more lonely there than rabbits are.”
Lord Dunsany, The King of Elfland's Daughter

Saladin Ahmed
“So this is old age! I’ve seen half my friends die.
I say prayers at their passing, too tired to cry.”
Saladin Ahmed, Throne of the Crescent Moon (Crescent Moon Kingdoms) by Saladin Ahmed

G.K. Chesterton
“A man had to be thin to pass always through the bars and out of the cage; he had to travel light in order to ride so fast and so far. It was the whole calculation, so to speak, of that innocent cunning, that the world was to be outflanked and outwitted by him, and be embarrassed about what to do with him. You could not threaten to starve a man who was ever striving to fast. You could not ruin him and reduce him to beggary, for he was already a beggar. There was a very lukewarm satisfaction even in beating him with a stick, when he only indulged in little leaps and cries of joy because indignity was his only dignity. You could not put his head in a halter without the risk of putting it in a halo.”
G.K. CHESTERTON

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Any work of art is half of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Timequake
