Frank Herbert
“All of them, she thought, an entire culture trained to military order. What a priceless thing is here for an outcast Duke!”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Józef Czapski
“Proust asserted in Contre Sainte-Beuve, “what the intellect offers us under the name of the past is not the past. The past is hidden outside the realm of our intelligence and beyond its reach.”
Józef Czapski, Lost Time: Lectures on Proust in a Soviet Prison Camp

Sayaka Murata
“People who are considered normal enjoy putting those who aren't on trial, you know.”
Sayaka Murata, コンビニ人間 [Konbini ningen]

Shaun Bythell
“A woman spent about ten minutes looking around the shop, then told me that she was a retired librarian. I suspect she thought that this was some sort of a bond between us. Not so. On the whole, booksellers dislike librarians. To realise a good price for a book, it has to be in decent condition, and there is nothing librarians like more than taking a perfectly good book and covering it with stamps and stickers before – and with no sense of irony – putting a plastic sleeve over the dust jacket to protect it from the public. The final ignominy for a book that has been in the dubious care of a public library is for the front free endpaper to be ripped out and a ‘DISCARD’ stamp whacked firmly onto the title page, before it is finally made available for members of the public to buy in a sale. The value of a book that has been through the library system is usually less than a quarter of one that has not.”
Shaun Bythell, The Diary of a Bookseller

J.A. Baker
“Wherever he goes, this winter, I will follow him. I will share the fear, and the exaltation, and the boredom, of the hunting life. I will follow him till my predatory human shape no longer darkens in terror the shaken kaleidoscope of colour that stains the deep fovea of his brilliant eye. My pagan head shall sink into the winter land, and there be purified.”
J.A. Baker
