  • J.G. Ballard
    "Fiction is a branch of neurology: the scenarios of nerve and blood vessels are the written mythologies of memory and desire."
    J.G. Ballard


  • J.G. Ballard
    "...reason rationalizes reality for him (Dr. Nathan) as it does for the rest of us, in the Freudian sense of providing a more palatable or convenient explanation, and there are so many subjects about which we should not be reasonable."
    J.G. Ballard (The Atrocity Exhibition)


  • J.G. Ballard
    "All over the world major museums have bowed to the influence of Disney and become theme parks in their own right. The past, whether Renaissance Italy or Ancient Egypt, is re-assimilated and homogenized into its most digestible form. Desperate for the new, but disappointed with anything but the familiar, we recolonize past and future. The same trend can be seen in personal relationships, in the way people are expected to package themselves, their emotions and sexuality, in attractive and instantly appealing forms."
    J.G. Ballard (The Atrocity Exhibition)


  • J.G. Ballard
    "I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again ... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul"
    J.G. Ballard


  • J.G. Ballard
    "Science is the ultimate pornography, analytic activity whose main aim is to isolate objects from their contexts in time and space. This obsession with the specific activity of quantified functions is what science shares with pornography."
    J.G. Ballard


  • J.G. Ballard
    "Nothing is real until you put it in the VCR."

  • Guy Debord

  • Antonin Artaud

    Antonin Artaud (The Theater and Its Double)


  • Ronald Reagan
    "You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans. "

  • Charles Baudelaire
    "One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk."
    Charles Baudelaire


  • Guy Debord
    "Young people everywhere have been allowed to choose between love and a garbage disposal unit. Everywhere they have chosen the garbage disposal unit."
    Guy Debord


  • Alan Moore
    "There seems to be an audience that demands everything be explained to them that everything be easy. And I don t think that s doing us any good as a culture. The ease with which we can accomplish or conjure any possible imaginable scenario through CGI is almost directly proportionate to how uninterested we re becoming in all of this. I can remember Ray Harryhausen s animated skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts. I can remember Willis O Brien s King Kong. I can remember being awed at the artistry that had made those things possible. Yes I knew how it was done. But it looked so wonderful. These days I can see half a million Orcs coming over a hill and I am bored. I am not impressed at all. Because frankly I could have gotten someone a passerby on the street who could have gotten the same effect if you d given them half a million dollars to do it. It removes artistry and imagination and places money in the driver s seat and I think it s a pretty straight equation—that there is an inverse relationship between money and imagination. "
    Alan Moore


  • Italo Calvino
    "What makes lovemaking and reading resemble each other most is that within both of them times and spaces open, different from measurable time and space."
    Italo Calvino


  • Italo Calvino
    "“The ideal place for me is the one in which it is most natural to live as a foreigner.”"
    Italo Calvino


  • Michael Moorcock
    "What happened to fantasy for me is what also happened to rock and roll. It found a common denominator for making maximum money. As a result, it lost its tensions, its anger, its edginess and turned into one big cup of cocoa."
    Michael Moorcock


  • Georges Bataille
    "The sexual act is in time what the tiger is in space."
    Georges Bataille


  • Georges Bataille
    "I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction. "
    Georges Bataille


  • Georges Bataille
    "But a sort of rupture-in anguish-leaves us at the limit of tears: in such a case we lose ourselves, we forget ourselves and communicate with an elusive beyond."
    Georges Bataille


  • Frank Herbert
    "What do you despise? By this are you truly known."
    Frank Herbert


  • Walt Disney Company

    Walt Disney Company


  • Walt Disney Company

    Walt Disney Company


  • Walt Disney Company

    Walt Disney Company


  • H.G. Wells

    H.G. Wells


  • H.G. Wells
    "If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it."
    H.G. Wells


  • Emily Brontë
    "I've dreamed in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; They've gone through and through me like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind."
    Emily Brontë


  • Raymond Chandler
    "Without magic, there is no art. Without art, there is no idealism. Without idealism, there is no integrity. Without integrity, there is nothing but production. "
    Raymond Chandler


  • Raymond Chandler
    "Common sense is the guy who tells you that you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a grey suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always someone else's money he's adding up."
    Raymond Chandler (Playback)


  • Raymond Chandler
    "It seemed like a nice neighborhood to have bad habits in."

    Dalton Trumbo (Johnny Got His Gun)

    Raymond Carver


  • Raymond Carver
    "It's possible, in a poem or short story, to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language, and to endow those things—a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman's earring—with immense, even startling power."
    Raymond Carver


  • Raymond Carver
    "Weeks later, she said: 'The guy was about middle-aged. All his things right there in his yard. No lie. We got real pissed and danced. In the driveway. Oh, my God. Don't laugh. He played us these records. Look at this record-player. The old guy gave it to us. And all these crappy records. Will you look at this shit?'

    She kept talking. She told everyone. There was more to it, and she was trying to get it talked out. After a time, she quit trying"
    Raymond Carver

    Hunter S. Thompson
