“Howard Hughes was able to afford the luxury of madness, like a man who not only thinks he is Napoleon but hires an army to prove it.”

Laurent Binet
“The dead are dead, and it makes no difference to them whether I pay homage to their deeds. But for us, the living, it does mean something. Memory is of no use to the remembered, only to those who remember. We build ourselves with memory and console ourselves with memory.”
Laurent Binet, HHhH

“Snowflakes fell from the sky like tiny pieces of a snowman who had stood on a landmine.”
Alan Partridge, I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan

Anthony  Powell
“The latter's boast that he had never read a book for pleasure in his life did not predispose me in his favour.”
Anthony Powell, A Question of Upbringing
