― Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.”
― Isaac Asimov

“Everything has its own torture chamber, but also its own paradise.”
― Bohumil Hrabal, Mr. Kafka and Other Tales from the Time of the Cult
