Mark Fisher
“Invited to think of the futuristic, we will still come up with something like the music of Kraftwerk, even though this is now as antique as Glenn Miller’s big band jazz was when the German group began experimenting with synthesizers in the early 1970s.”
Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures

Joseph Heller
“That's some catch, that Catch-22,' he observed.
'It's the best there is,' Doc Daneeka agreed.
Yossarian saw it clearly in all its spinning reasonableness. There was an elliptical precision about its perfect pairs of parts that was graceful and shocking, like good modern art, and at times Yossarian wasn't quite sure that he saw it at all, just the way he was never quite sure about good modern art…”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

George Orwell
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell

Aldous Huxley
“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”
Aldous Huxley

Julian Barnes
“This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
