Nick Cave
“and that makes him wish all over again that his dad would stop crying, so he can have a turn.”
― Nick Cave, The Death of Bunny Munro

Katherine Dunn
“It's interesting that when these individuals choose-and it is their choice always-to endure voluntary amputations for their own personal benefit, society professes itself shocked and disapproving. Yet this same society respects the concept that any individual should risk total annihilation in war, subject to the judgement of any superior officer at all and for purposes ranging from a promotion for the lieutenant to higher profits for the bullet company. Hell, they don't just respect that idea, they flat out expect it. And they'll shoot your ass if you don't go along with it.
-Arturo in response to critics”
― Katherine Dunn, Geek Love

Knut Hamsun
“The sad rocking chair in the corner was actually a joke of a chair: if one started laughing at it, one could die laughing. It was too low for a grown man, and besides, it was so tight, one needed a shoehorn to get back out of it. In short, this room was simply not furnished in a way appropriate to intellectual effort, and I did not intend to keep it any longer.”
― Knut Hamsun, Hunger

Iain Banks
“I brought my face up and put my head back, baring my neck to the wind like a lover, to the rain like an offering.”
― Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory

Megan Abbott
“Ages fourteen to eighteen, a girl needs something to kill all that time, that endless itchy waiting, every hour, every day for something—anything—to begin.”
― Megan Abbott, Dare Me
