Iris Murdoch
“I am beginning to ramble. It is evening. The sea is golden, speckled with white points of light, lapping with a sort of mechanical self-satisfaction under a pale green sky. How huge it is, how empty, this great space for which I have been longing all my life.
Still no letters.”
Iris Murdoch, The Sea, the Sea

Julian Barnes
“When you read a great book, you don't escape from life, you plunge deeper into it.”
Julian Barnes

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

Raymond Chandler
“I smelled of gin. Not just casually, as if I had taken four or five drinks of a winter morning to get out of bed on, but as if the Pacific Ocean was pure gin and I had nosedived off the boat deck. The gin was in my hair and eyebrows, on my chin and under my chin. It was on my shirt. I smelled like dead toads.”
Raymond Chandler, The Lady in the Lake
