Book cover for The Three Clerks
how often does it come to pass that the man who will work is seen begging his bread? we may almost say never—unless, indeed, he be a clergyman.

Anthony Hope
“For my part, if a man must needs be a knave I would have him a debonair knave... It makes your sin no worse as I conceive, to do it à la mode and stylishly.”
Anthony Hope, The Prisoner of Zenda

Dave Eggers
“You've got a head full of rocks, kid. And there are a hundred thousand others like you in the desert right now, and it's no wonder they're killing civilians and raping women soldiers and shooting themselves in the leg. I don't mean to besmirch the character of these young men and women, because I know most of them are the salt of the earth, but my point is that they should be kept safe and kept out of the way of dangerous things. Young men need to be kept away from guns, bombs, women, cars, hard alcohol and heavy machinery. If I had my way they'd be cryogenically frozen until such a time as we knew they could get themselves across a street without fucking it up. Most of the men I served with were nineteen. I'm fairly certain that when you were nineteen you couldn't parallel park.”
Dave Eggers, Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?

“People were like that, reluctant to accept truth if it came without a story. There should have been a story.”
A.C. Cobble, Conspiracy

Dave Eggers
“Young men need to be kept away from guns, bombs, women, cars, hard alcohol and heavy machinery.”
Dave Eggers, Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?

Dave Eggers
“–Don’t you think the vast majority of the chaos in the world is caused by a relatively small group of disappointed men?


–I don’t know. Could be.
–The men who haven’t gotten the work they expected to get. The men who don’t get the promotion they expected. The men who are dropped in a jungle or a desert and expected video games and got mundanity and depravity and friends dying like animals. These men can’t be left to mix with the rest of society. Something bad always happens.”
Dave Eggers, Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?
