Margaret Atwood
“Like the trains, she's never on time and always departing.”
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Chuck Palahniuk
“Being tired isn't the same as being rich, but most times it's close enough.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Julian Barnes
“But time...how time first grounds us and then confounds us. We thought we were being mature when we were only being safe. We imagined we were being responsible but were only being cowardly. What called realism turned out to be a way of avoiding things rather than facing them. Time...give us enough time and our best-supported decisions will seem wobbly, our certainties whimsical.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Julian Barnes
“Our attitudes and opinions change, we develop new habits and eccentricities; but that's something different, more like decoration. Perhaps character resembles intelligence, except that character peaks a little later [...]. And after that, we're just stuck with what we've got. We're on our own. If so, that would explain a lot of lives, wouldn't it?”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Harry Mulisch
“Gelukkig is het geschrevene iets dat hoorbaar is zonder gehoord te hoeven worden. Zelfs het bescheidenste woordje dat ik neerschrijf, het woordje "zwijgen" bijvoorbeeld, overstemt het inferno in die stenen put.”
Harry Mulisch, Twee vrouwen
