Mohsin Hamid
“The gun of the father is always the undoing of the son.”
Mohsin Hamid, Moth Smoke

Mohsin Hamid
“But you can always justify killing animals on the grounds that you want to eat them, or wear them, or that they smell bad, look funny, bother you, threaten you, and have the bad luck of being in your way. What about killing humans? Well aside from a few die-hard individualists on the fringe, the general consensus among people these days seems to be that eating and wearing other people is just not on. Wearing a suit which costs as much as a farmer will make in his lifetime is acceptable, but actually putting his eyeballs on a string and letting them dangle above tastefully exposed cleavage is bad form.”
Mohsin Hamid, Moth Smoke

Jeff Lindsay
“Miami drivers have long ago take the simple chore of going from one place to another and turned it into a kind of high-speed, heavily armed game of high-stakes bumper cars.”
Jeff Lindsay, Dexter by Design

Mohsin Hamid
“Fat" is a small word which belies its size in the girth of its connotations. Fat implies a certain ungainliness, an inefficiency, a sense of immobility, a lack of industry, an unpleasant, unaesthetic quality; unmotivated, unloved, unnatural, unusual, uninspired, unhappy, unlikely to go places or to fit, under the ground with a heart attack at fifty-five. In short, fat somewhat paradoxically involves the lack of many attributes which, you must concede, are generally held to be good.”
Mohsin Hamid, Moth Smoke

Jeff Lindsay
“Why bother inflicting enormous pain on yourself when sooner or later Life would certainly get around to doing it for you?”
Jeff Lindsay, Dexter by Design
