Willem Frederik Hermans
“Ze heeft me uitgelegd dat je niet moet zeggen 'met elkaar naar bed gaan', maar 'met 'met elkaar intiem zijn'... En dit zijn we nu geweest, o mijn god! En ik zal het voortaan altijd zo noemen, geloof me, schat.”
Willem Frederik Hermans, In de mist van het schimmenrijk: Fragmenten uit het oorlogsdagboek van de student Karel R.

Vladimir Nabokov
“If I correctly understand the sense of this succinct observation, our poet suggests here that human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

Henry Miller
“There are so many ways of walking about and the best, in my opinion, is the Greek way, because it is aimless, anarchic, thoroughly and discordantly human.”
Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi

Daniel Kahneman
“Odd as it may seem, I am my remembering self, and the experiencing self, who does my living, is like a stranger to me.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Ernest Hemingway
“don't ask me a lot of questions if you don't like the answers”
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
