Daniel Defoe
“We had no such thing as printed newspapers in those days to spread rumours and reports of things, and to improve them by the invention of men, as I have lived to see practised since.”
Daniel Defoe, A Journal of the Plague Year

Naomi Klein
“Clout is the values-free currency of the always-online age—both a substitute for hard cash as well as a conduit to it. Clout is a calculus not of what you do, but of how much bulk you-ness there is in the world. You get clout by playing the victim. You get clout by victimizing others. This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake.”
Naomi Klein, Doppelganger: a Trip into the Mirror World

“Once you learn the maze or see the labyrinth whole, then, elaborate chaos is transformed into pattern.”
Penelope Reed Doob, The Idea of the Labyrinth from Classical Antiquity through the Middle Ages

Monica Ali
“The thought of writing was always pleasant, but the process was painful. However much she thought of to tell, however the words flowed in her head as she performed her chores, despite the emotion that swelled and throbbed while the storylines formed, the telling was inevitably brief and blunt, a poor thing, stunted as a failed crop.”
Monica Ali, Brick Lane

Robert Louis Stevenson
“It was on the moral side, and in my own person, that I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both;”
Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
