William Faulkner
“When I was a boy I first learned how much better water tastes when it has set a while in a cedar bucket. Warmish-cool, with a faint taste like the hot July wind in Cedar trees smells.”
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying

Mark Z. Danielewski
“I had one woman come up to me in a bookstore and say, 'You know, everyone told me it was a horror book, but when I finished it, I realized that it was a love story.' And she's absolutely right. In some ways, genre is a marketing tool.”
Mark Z. Danielewski

Friedrich Nietzsche
“you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame;
how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Warren Ellis
“Here in Britain, of course, it's Thank Fuck We Got Those Weird Jesus Bastards On The Boat Day”
Warren Ellis

Haruki Murakami
“Still not going back to school, I see.'
'I'm never going back,' I confess.
'A library's a pretty good alternative, then,' he says.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
