Franz Kafka
“There is a destination but no way there; what we refer to as way is hesitation.”
Franz Kafka, The Zürau Aphorisms

Chuck Palahniuk

A snake will say it loves you
Lies make us evil”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Hunter S. Thompson
“When the Pentagon feels free and even gleeful about killing anybody and Everybody who gets in the way of their vicious crusade for oil, the public soul of this country has changed forever, and professional sports is only a serenade for the death of the American dream. Mahalo.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness: Modern History from the ESPN.com Sports Desk

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

George Orwell
“He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him), and took a sort of pleasure in thinking that human affairs would never improve.”
George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London
