“A death is always exciting, always makes you realise how alive you are, how vulnerable but so-far-lucky; but the death of somebody close gives you a good excuse to go a bit crazy for a while and do things that would otherwise be inexcusable. What delight to behave really badly and still get loads of sympathy!”
― Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory

“It made me feel good to know that I could see him and he couldn't see me, and that I was aware and fully conscious and he wasn't”
― Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory

“I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.”
― Jack London, The Turtles of Tasman

“My enemy is twice dead, and I still have him.”
― Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory
