Vladimir Nabokov
“Thus, in pornographic novels, action has to be limited to the copulation of clichés.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Charles Bukowski
“You have to die a few times before you can really
live.”
Charles Bukowski, The People Look Like Flowers at Last

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.”
Kurt Vonnegut, BAGOMBO SNUFF BOX.

Chuck Palahniuk
“There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead.
You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I will say, too, that lovemaking, if sincere, is one of the best ideas Satan put in the apple she gave to the serpent to give to Eve. The best idea in that apple, though, is making jazz.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake
