Martin Amis
“Let me give you a lesson on war, Golo. Rule number one: never invade Russia.”
Martin Amis

M. Agueev
“En ese estado febril, en el que otro, quizás, habría escrito versos, miraba atentamente los ojos de las mujeres con las que me cruzaba, esperando como respuesta esa misma mirada amplia y terrible. Nunca me acercaba a las mujeres que me contestaban con una sonrisa, pues sabía que a una mirada como la mía sólo podía contestar con una sonrisa una prostituta o una virgen.”
M. Aguéiev

Émile Zola
“Nothing could be more heart rending than this mute and motionless dispair”
Émile Zola, Thérèse Raquin

Ken Kesey
“Papa says if you don’t watch it people will force you one way or the other, into doing what they think you should do, or into just being mule-stubborn and doing the opposite out of spite.”
Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Katherine Dunn
“Then he dreamed that he was in the open door of a plane several thousand feet above the earth and he had to jump holding a baby in his arms. It was his baby. He jumped, pulled the rip cord on the parachute, and it didn’t open. The emergency release didn’t work. He was falling fast. The wind tore at him fiercely. He was gripping the baby as tightly as he could but the wind pried under his arms, strained at his muscles, and suddenly the baby was loose, falling beside him, just out of reach. He flailed and groped in the air, trying to reach it. The baby was falling just a little bit faster than he was. It was below him, falling away from him as he fell after it. The earth screamed up at him. He knew that the baby was going to hit first and he would see it, would know it for a whole fraction of a second before he was smashed into a pulp himself. The terrible millisecond of that grief burst in him and he woke shrieking. He couldn’t get the dream out of his head. He prayed that he would have the dream again but that this time he would fall faster and be allowed to die first.”
Katherine Dunn, Geek Love
