Philip Pullman
“Argue with anything else, but don't argue with your own nature.”
Phillip Pullman

John Stuart Mill
“It is indisputable that the being whose capacities of enjoyment are low, has the greatest chance of having them fully satisfied; and a highly endowed being will always feel that any happiness which he can look for, as the world is constituted, is imperfect. But he can learn to bear its imperfections, if they are at all bearable; and they will not make him envy the being who is indeed unconscious of the imperfections, but only because he feels not at all the good which those imperfections qualify.

It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question.”
John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism

Stephen        King
“Everything's a lot tougher when it's for real. That's when you choke. When it's for real.”
Stephen King, It

Dashiell Hammett
“-Desapareció - dijo Spade - como desaparece un puño cuando se abre la mano.”
Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon

Knut Hamsun
“Jo, tænker jeg ved mig selv, du er dog en ren brand til å reise i Rusland. Traf jeg nogen hjemmefra nu og de vilde drikke kaffe så skulde jeg tilby å vise dem hvorledes de skulde gå frem i den sak og jeg skulde lære dem å spørre Hvormeget? og i det hele tat være dem behjælpelig.”
Knut Hamsun, In Wonderland
