Thomas Pynchon
“You can only cruise the boulevards of regret so far, and then you've got to get back up onto the freeway again.”
Thomas Pynchon, Inherent Vice

August Strindberg
“I am a socialist, a nihilist, a republican, anything that is anti-reactionary!... I want to turn everything upside down to see what lies beneath; I believe we are so webbed, so horribly regimented, that no spring-cleaning is possible, everything must be burned, blown to bits, and then we can start afresh...”
August Strindberg

Liu Cixin
“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

J.G. Ballard
“The advanced societies of the future will not be governed by reason. They will be driven by irrationality, by competing systems of psychopathology.”
J.G. Ballard, J.G. Ballard: Quotes: Does the Future Have a Future?

Alain Robbe-Grillet
“The word "avant-garde," for example, despite its note of impartiality, generally serves to dismiss-as though by a shrug of the shoulders-any work that risks giving a bad conscience to the literature of mass consumption.”
Alain Robbe-Grillet, For a New Novel: Essays on Fiction
