Waitress walks over to me, "Tch tch tch tch. Hey, what you readin' for?" Is that like the weirdest fucking question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading for.

"In your opinion," he asked, "what is it about?"
"Love," she said, promptly, for she had given it some thought. "People loving people who love somebody else."
He explained she was mistaken. Mostly it had to do with Time. "Think of it this way," he urged, "we are all mourners following a funeral procession and some of us, those of us more directly concerned with the departed, have dropped behind to tie a shoelace. Contact with the beloved has only been temporarily interrupted. The dead are still there,as are those we think we love, just round the corner... waiting to be caught up with."

Beryl Bainbridge

Fiction does not teach, it is not didactic. Fiction dramatizes you from within, the visual culture pacifies you from without. The principle of reading is the closest to the principle of having one's imagination revitalized. And that is life.

Jerzy Kozinski

The world would be so much nicer if people only used guns on themselves.

"all art is quite useless"
-mr. oscar wilde

You're all flops. I am the Earth Mother, and you are all flops. I disgust me. You know, there's only been one man in my whole life who's ever made me happy. Do you know that?...George, my husband...George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad...Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: yes, this will do; who has made the hideous, the hurting, the insulting mistake of loving me and must be punished for it. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad...Some day, hah! Some night, some stupid, liquor-ridden night, I will go too far and I'll either break the man's back or I'll push him off for good which is what I deserve.


Edward Albee

The reality is in this head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, and sometimes other orifices also.
--Thomas Pynchon

more from pynchon
You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures.

The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.

You hide, they seek.

Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.

There was no difference between the behavior of a god and the operations of pure chance.

"Personal density," Kurt Mondaugen in his Peenemünde office not too many steps away from here, enunciating the Law which will one day bear his name, "is directly proportional to temporal bandwidth."
"Temporal bandwidth," is the width of your present, your now. It is the familiar "[delta-] t" considered as a dependent variable. The more you dwell in the past and in the future, the thicker your bandwidth, the more solid your persona. But the narrower your sense of Now, the more tenuous you are.
