Lily King
“I’ve noticed that about people who had stable childhoods. They like to create their own problems.”
Lily King, Heart the Lover

Harlan Ellison
“Because, friends and neighbors, we live in a Time of Beautiful People. Gorgeous is revered. We can’t stand anything even remotely ordinary; it has to be young and lovely. So you are not where it’s at, if you aren’t pretty. The trend is up, and it’s getting worse. We spend billions more on cosmetics each year than education, and if it continues to spiral, soon enough we will come to a time when we may contemplate”
Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream

Samantha Harvey
“a look men get watching sports, football, say, in support of a team that affirms them by winning and then straight away negates them, because the glory belongs to the team, not the man sitting on the sofa who will never, now, be on a team like that”
Samantha Harvey, Orbital

Michel Houellebecq
“Aurélien ne s’était naturellement pas rendu compte tout de suite qu’il avait épousé une merde, et de surcroît une merde vénale, c’est une chose qu’on ne réalise pas immédiatement, il faut un minimum de quelques mois pour comprendre qu’on va vivre en enfer, et qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un enfer simple, les cercles sont nombreux, il s’était enfoncé au fil des ans dans des couches successives, de plus en plus oppressantes, de plus en plus noirâtres et irrespirables, les mots acrimonieux qu’ils échangeaient chaque soir se chargeaient chaque fois un peu plus de haine pure.”
Michel Houellebecq, Anéantir

David Graeber
“Bullshit jobs regularly induce feelings of hopelessness, depression, and self-loathing. They are forms of spiritual violence directed at the essence of what it means to be a human being.”
David Graeber, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory
