Kurt Vonnegut
"True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country."
Kurt Vonnegut


Jonathan Lethem
"I learned to write fiction the way I learned to read fiction - by skipping the parts that bored me.
"
Jonathan Lethem


Philip K. Dick
"Odd that the brain could function on its own, without acquainting him with its purposes, its reasons. But the brain was an organ, like the spleen, heart, kidneys. And they went about their private activities. So why not the brain?
"
Philip K. Dick (The Man Who Japed)


Raymond Chandler
"From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away. "
Raymond Chandler


Haruki Murakami
"Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting."
Haruki Murakami
