― Alan Hollinghurst, The Swimming-Pool Library

“Reading [Mauriac's] 'memoirs' is like meeting a man on a train who says, 'Don't look at me, that's misleading. If you want to know what I'm like, wait until we're in a tunnel, and then study my reflection in the window.' You wait, and look, and catch a face against a shifting background of sooty walls, cables and sudden brickwork. The transparent shape flickers and jumps, always a few feet away. You become accustomed to its existence, you move with its movements; and though you know its presence is conditional, you feel it to be permanent. Then there is a wail from ahead, a roar and a burst of light; the face is gone for ever.”
― Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

“An ending is something like a caboose on a train that just pulled out so that there’s room for the train that’s now arriving. The problem is, we forget that a caboose is only one part of one train.”

“The one who runs, reach the train. But you lose the seat. The one you slowly walk, miss the train, but find solace. The one who walks reaches the train, and a seat with a table; with some other walkers.”

“The Light

I get a thud kick in pitch dark thick on belly and tumble
Hands tied at the back on damp floor shack to humble
Lights flash on face eyes blind in case I spin
Then lights go off a boot or two rough on chin
I feel blood drip snail down the lips in trickle
The glare blinks on and off and on and off in ripple
A hot metal rod scalds hard breast broad to snip flesh warm
The lights hem in piercing-thin a ruthless swarm
Red eyes get shut in blinding rut my vision erode
Final blackout in grisly rout in ecliptic node
I prepare my grit to encounter the hit as a fightback code.
--Malay Roychoudhury”
― মলয় রায়চৌধুরী ( Malay Roychoudhury )

“But the little girl growing up still hisses a tune, that of the cottage train. (Mais la petite fille qui grandit siffle toujours un air, celui du train de la chaumière)”
― Charles de Leusse, Les Contes de la nuit

“As I keep on running
the sun goes down kissing me Good Night
with those twilight-lips
And in the dark,
moonlight becomes my night’s transport
on which I ride on behind the mountain trails”
― Munia Khan, Fireclay

“Wild west boys 2013

I'm back in a sweet body
of beers and black dragonflies.
The censures of your world
have lost their balance
in the brutes that can not be pampered.
And the sun has devoured itself
as a beggar in your instagram
In truth, your rainbow gravity
it is the Evil ...
Not even a lemon diesel train can escape.
Just remember that I'm here.
And that never a beggar
loses his balance:
All use facebook or instagram.
But I'm here!
Hello, dirty bitch!
Hello fatal universe! ....
You can not spoil me!
I'm back in a sweet body
of beers and black dragonflies
You can not look at me!.”
― Daniel Wamba

“I turn my face to the window as the train starts to move. Charles suggested I take the car, but I prefer this strange elevated route out of town, the rooftop tour of south London as the carriages rattle between spires and old smokestacks and the tips of poplars; the sudden glimpses into school playgrounds and street markets and quiet litter-strewn alleys, narrow avenues of blackened brick. Little by little the city falls away, like something giving up, and then the acoustics of the carriage change, and we're out in the open: meadows riven with streams, the fast blue shadows of clouds on the hills.”
― Harriet Lane, Her

“He had not been born to serve, nor to being exploited or exploiting anyone. I could add you to my revenge list, but you’re not worth the killing.”

― Alain Bremond-Torrent, running is flying intermittently

“It was a long time since I had had anything to eat and I was becoming very hungry. I didn’t know where my next meal would come from and I knew that I was facing a long journey ahead. Hunger was something we all learned to live with in wartime Germany. The compartment was now completely full. Looking out to the passageway through the inside window, I could see a German soldier standing in the crowded passageway. He had his back to the outside window and I could see his reflection and knew that he had field rations attached to his belt. As he glanced towards me, he could see how hungry and drawn I looked. I was grateful when he kindly offered to share his rations with me. Although many people became nasty and bitter because of the trials of war, there were still some kind and decent people left. There was no doubt but that this war had left an indelible imprint on everyone!”
― Captain Hank Bracker, "Salty & Saucy Maine",
