Chuck Palahniuk
“I tiger can smile
A snake will say it loves you
Lies make us evil”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Martin Amis
“...with the flat smile of the deeply inconvenienced.”
Martin Amis

Hunter S. Thompson
“I felt a strange tightness coming over me, and I reacted instinctively – for the first time in a long, long while – by slipping my notebook into my belt and reaching down to take off my watch. The first thing to go in a street fight is your watch, and once you’ve lost a few, you develop a certain instinct that lets you know when it’s time to get the thing off your wrist and into a safe pocket.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72

Jeff Noon
“Hey!" he shouted. "This is my fucking Lake of Death. I have complete and utter exclusive rights to sailing this lake. Get the fuck off my lake!”
Jeff Noon, Pollen

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