David Sedaris
“He looked as though his life had not only passed him by but paused along the way to spit in his face.”
David Sedaris

Oscar Wilde
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I simply state that I'm a product of a versatile mind in a restless generation-with every reason to throw my mind and pen in with the radicals. Even if, deep in my heart, I thought we were all blind atoms in a world as limited as a stroke of a pendulum, I and my sort would struggle against tradition; try, at least, to displace old cants with new ones. I've thought I was right about life at various times, but faith is difficult. One thing I know. If living isn't seeking for the grail it may be a damned amusing game.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

Julio Cortázar
“I love you because you are not mine, because you are from the other side, from there where you invite me to jump and I cannot make the jump, because in the deepest moment of possession you are not in me, I cannot reach you, I cannot get beyond your body...”
Julio Cortázar, Hopscotch

Chuck Klosterman
“I honestly believe that people of my generation despise authenticity, mostly because they're all so envious of it.”
Chuck Klosterman, Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story
