W.G. Sebald
“Unfortunately I am a completely impractical person, caught up in endless trains of thought. All of us are fantasists, ill-equipped for life, the children as much as myself. It seems to me sometimes that we never get used to being on this earth and life is just one great, ongoing, incomprehensible blunder.”
W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn

Oscar Wilde
“What of Art?
-It is a malady.
--Love?
-An Illusion.
--Religion?
-The fashionable substitute for Belief.
--You are a sceptic.
-Never! Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.
--What are you?
-To define is to limit.”
Oscar Wilde , The Picture of Dorian Gray

Jack Kerouac, Desolation Angels

Brendan Behan
“It's not that the Irish are cynical. It's rather that they have a wonderful lack of respect for everything and everybody.”
Brendan Behan, Brendan Behan, Interviews and Recollections Volume 1
