    Martín Lasalt
    “En las noches se veía más claro lo que pasaba por dentro, y más sencillo, duro y difícil también. Y a la vez todo parecía posible. Pero el amanecer aplastaba la sensación de magia de la noche y borraba los pensamientos más fértiles para que solo pudieran creer lo que tenían delante de los ojos. En las noches se podía sentir el mundo mismo, a Dios o lo que fuera que lo gobernara, como una respiración, un latir grande y paciente en el que se podía aprender a nadar.”
    Martín Lasalt, La entrada al paraíso

    Enrique Serna
    “¿Quién soy? ¿Para qué vine al mundo? ¿Por qué no puedo encontrarle gusto a la vida?Los filósofos no son los únicos que se hacen estas preguntas: también los vividores profesionales.

    Enrique Serna, El orgasmógrafo

    Ernest Cline
    “I wish someone had just told me the truth right up front, as soon as I was old enough to understand it. I wish someone had just said: “Here’s the deal, Wade. You’re something called a ‘human being.’ That’s a really smart kind of animal. Like every other animal on this planet, we’re descended from a single-celled organism that lived millions of years ago. This happened by a process called evolution, and you’ll learn more about it But trust me, that’s really how we all got here. There’s proof of it everywhere, buried in the rocks. That story you heard? About how we were all created by a super-powerful dude named God who lives up in the sky? Total bullshit. The whole God thing is actually an ancient fairy tale that people have been telling one another for thousands of years. We made it all up. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. “Oh, and by the way … there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Sorry, kid Deal with it.”
    Ernest Cline, Ready Player One

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

    Irvine Welsh
    “Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”
    Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

    Anthony Burgess
    “A perverse nature can be stimulated by anything. Any book can be used as a pornographic instrument, even a great work of literature if the mind that so uses it is off-balance. I once found a small boy masturbating in the presence of the Victorian steel-engraving in a family Bible.”
    Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

    Anthony Burgess
    “Where do I come into all of this? Am I just some animal or dog?' And that started them off govoreeting real loud and throwing slovos at me. So I creeched louder still, creeching: 'Am I just to be like a clockwork orange?”
