David Foster Wallace
“...logical validity is not a guarantee of truth.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Karl Marx
“For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.”
Karl Marx, The German Ideology / Theses on Feuerbach / Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy

Neil Gaiman
“I like airplanes. I like anywhere that isn't a proper place. I like in betweens.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 7: Brief Lives

Chuck Palahniuk
“Deliver me from Swedish furniture. Deliver me from clever art. May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Samuel Beckett
“Vladimir: What do we do now?
Estragon: Wait.
Vladimir: Yes, but while waiting.
Estragon: What about hanging ourselves?
Vladimir: Hmm. It'd give us an erection.
Estragon: (highly excited). An erection!
Vladimir: With all that follows.
Where it falls mandrakes grow.
That's why they shriek when you pull them up.
Did you not know that?
Estragon: Let's hang ourselves immediately!”
Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot
