“the writer is driven by his need to escape the limits of a too-small world, the World That Is. It’s in his blood to range farther than life can ever let him go.”
Dwight V. Swain, Techniques of the Selling Writer

Ursula K. Le Guin
“I always grow poetic when I am lying to myself.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Fisherman of the Inland Sea

Oscar Wilde
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

Theodor W. Adorno
“Among today's adept practitioners, the lie has long since lost its honest function of misrepresenting reality. Nobody believes anybody, everyone is in the know. Lies are told only to convey to someone that one has no need either of him or his good opinion. The lie, once a liberal means of communication, has today become one of the techniques of insolence enabling each individual to spread around him the glacial atmosphere in whose shelter he can thrive.”
Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life

“But emotion, for most people, too often is like some sort of slumbering giant, lulled to sleep by preoccupation with the dead facts of that outer world we call objective. When we look at a painting, we see a price tag. A trip is logistics more than pleasure. Romance dies in household routine. Yet life without feeling is a sort of death.”
Dwight V. Swain, Techniques of the Selling Writer
