Book cover for Gravity's Rainbow
It seems the right moment now for Jessica to throw a dart: one dart. Hair swinging, breasts bobbing marvelously beneath each heavy wool lapel.

Stephen  King
“And that's when you realize what the Wagon really is, Lloyd. It's a church with bars on the windows, a church for women and a prison for you.”
Stephen King, The Shining

Ayn Rand
“To a life; which is reason unto itself.”
Ayn Rand, We the Living

H.P. Lovecraft
“To say that we actually believed in vampires or werewolves would be a carelessly inclusive statement. Rather must it be said that we were not prepared to deny the possibility of certain unfamiliar and unclassified modifications of vital force and attenuated matter; existing very infrequently in three-dimensional space because of its more intimate connexion with other spatial units, yet close enough to the boundary of our own to furnish us occasional manifestations which we, for lack of a proper vantage-point, may never hope to understand.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Complete Collection

Max Brooks
“To know is always better, no matter what the answer might be.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

“Many of the presidents have sworn themselves in to similarly foolish titles: Governor of Cow Pastures, Commanding General of Standing Chickens.”
Karen Russell, Vampires in the Lemon Grove: Stories
