Hans Fallada
“DON'T GIVE TO THE WINTER RELIEF FUND!”
― Hans Fallada, Every Man Dies Alone

Hans Fallada
“. . . it will have helped us to feel that we have behaved decently till the end . . . we all acted alone, we were all caught alone, and every one of us will have to die alone. But that doesn't mean that we are alone, Quangel, or that our deaths will be in vain.”
― Hans Fallada, Every Man Dies Alone

Paul Bowles
“Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. Indeed, he would have found it difficult to tell, among the many places he had lived, precisely where it was he had felt most at home.”
― Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Bret Easton Ellis
“Fear never shows up and the party ends early.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero

Roald Dahl
“And it is such a pleasure, my dear, such a very great pleasure when now and again I open the door and I see someone standing there who is just exactly right.”
― Roald Dahl, The Landlady
