Book cover for Red Mars (Mars Trilogy, #1)
Something in the look was disconcerting, it was as if the stranger saw through all his masks and was observing him so closely because he was aware of his thoughts, his plans.

William Gaddis
“He stood there unsteady in the cold, mumbling syllables which almost resolved into her name, as though he could recall, and summon back, a time before death entered the world, before accident, before magic, and before magic despaired, to become religion.”
William Gaddis, The Recognitions

Liu Cixin
“The past was like a handful of sand you thought you were squeezing tightly, but which had already run out through the cracks between your fingers. Memory was a river that had run dry long ago, leaving only scattered gravel in a lifeless riverbed. He had lived life always looking out for the next thing, and whenever he had gained, he had also lost, leaving him with little in the end.”
Liu Cixin, The Dark Forest

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The thing about working with time, instead of against it, he thought, is that it is not wasted. Even pain counts.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

Stephen  King
“But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.”
Stephen King, ’Salem’s Lot

Ursula K. Le Guin
“But need alone is not enough to set power free: there must be knowledge.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea
