Thomas Pynchon
“The Santa Monica Freeway is traditionally the scene of every form of automotive folly known to man. It is not white and well-bred like the San Diego, nor as treacherously engineered as the Pasadena, nor quite as ghetto-suicidal as the Harbor. No, one hesitates to say it, but the Santa Monica is a freeway for freaks.”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow

Graham Greene
“He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.”
Graham Greene, The Ministry of Fear

Jack Kerouac
“Down in Denver, all I did was die.”
Jack Kerouac

Chuck Palahniuk
“I'm a toxic waste byproduct of God's creation.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Albert Camus
“Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.”
Albert Camus, The Rebel
