Alan Bradley
“Sorry, old girl," I said to [my bicycle] Gladys in the gray dishwater light of early morning, "but I have to leave you at home."

I could see that she was disappointed, even though she managed to put on a brave face.

"I need you to stay here as a decoy," I whispered. "When they see you leaning against the greenhouse, they'll think I'm still in bed."

Gladys brightened considerably at the thought of a conspiracy. [...]

At the corner of the garden, I turned, and mouthed the words, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do," and Gladys signaled that she wouldn't.

I was off like a shot.”
Alan Bradley, A Red Herring Without Mustard

“I had a dream about you. You were on a bike going 70 miles an hour, I could see you approaching my car in the mirror. You were trying to say something so, I jumped on the brakes as hard as I could, I guess I forgot I had tied your bike on my bumper.”
Georgia Saratsioti, Dreaming is for lovers

Edgar Allan Poe
“All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Mehmet Murat ildan
“There is beauty in silence and there is silence in beauty and you can find both in a bicycle!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Being human is a complicated gig. So give that ol' dark night of the soul a hug. Howl the eternal yes!
[N.B. this is obviously a humorous paraphrase]”
Friedrich Nietzsche
