“Dust webbed the window and the showtrays. Dust darkened the toiling fingers with their vulture nails. Dust slept on dull coils of bronze and silver, lozenges of cinnabar, on rubies, leprous and winedark stones.”
― James Joyce, Ulysses

“Fortunately, where reason failed, blind panic served well enough.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

“They say of me, and so they should,
It's doubtful if I come to good.
I see acquaintances and friends
Accumulating dividends
And making enviable names
In science, art and parlor games.
But I, despite expert advice,
Keep doing things I think are nice,
And though to good I never come
Inseparable my nose and thumb.”
― Dorothy Parker

“Go then, there are other worlds than these.”
― Stephen King, The Gunslinger
