J.D. Salinger
“Boy, did he depress me! I don't mean he was a bad guy- he wasn't. But you don't have to be a bad guy to depress somebody- you can be a good guy and do it. All you have to do to depress somebody is give them a lot of phony advice while you're looking for your initials in some can door- that's all you have to do. I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't been all out of breath.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Alain Damasio
“- Tu sens quelque chose de bizarre toi ?
- Bizarre, peut-être pas. Je dirais plutôt cocasse ou simplement inattendu, voire impromptu, quoiqu'un tantinet insolite disons-le, dans la mesure du saugrenu, tout en étant singulièrement fantasque, presque excentrique si l'on y songe, et qui sait ? Extravagant en diable...
- Caracole !”
Alain Damasio, La Horde du Contrevent

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“I see little hope for democracy as an effective form of government, but I admire the poetry of how it makes its victims complicit in their own destruction.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Alain Damasio
“N’acceptez pas que l’on fixe, ni qui vous êtes, ni où rester. Ma couche est à l’air libre. Je choisis mon vin, mes lèvres sont ma vigne. Soyez complice du crime de vivre et fuyez! Sans rien fuir, avec vos armes de jet et la main large, prête à s’unir, sobre à punir. Mêlez-vous à qui ne vous regarde, car lointaine est parfois la couleur qui fera votre blason.”
Alain Damasio, La Horde du Contrevent

Ray Bradbury
“But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
