Fyodor Dostoevsky
“God knows what is in me in place of me.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

Hunter S. Thompson
“If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Where Were You When the Fun Stopped

Chuck Palahniuk
“When you think about it, Johnny Appleseed was a fucking ecological terrorist.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Hunter S. Thompson
“He wandered into the Newsroom and asked for a job the same way he’d walk into a barbershop and ask for a haircut, and with no more idea of being turned down.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary

Samuel Beckett
“But he had hardly felt the absurdity of those things, on the one hand, and the necessity of those others, on the other, (for it is rare that the feeling of absurdity is not followed by the feeling of necessity), when he felt the absurdity of those things of which he had just felt the necessity (for it is rare that the feeling of necessity is not followed by the feeling of absurdity.)”
Samuel Beckett
