Book cover for The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1)

Milan Kundera
“A mismatched outfit, a slightly defective denture, an exquisite mediocrity of the soul-those are the details that make a woman real, alive. The women you see on posters or in fashion magazines-the ones all the women try to imitate nowadays-how can they be attractive? They have no reality of their own; they're just the sum of a set of abstract rules. They aren't born of human bodies; they hatch ready-made from the computers." ~The Book of Laughter and Forgetting”
Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Peter De Vries
“Human nature is pretty shabby stuff, as you may know from introspection.”
Peter Devries

Haruki Murakami
“In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It's important to combine the two in just the right amount.”
Haruki Murakami, After Dark

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“That there are such devices as firearms, as easy to operate as cigarette lighters and as cheap as toasters, capable at anybody's whim of killing Father or Fats or Abraham Lincoln or John Lennon or Martin Luther King, Jr., or a woman pushing a baby carriage, should be proof enough for anybody that being alive is a crock of shit.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

Ralph Ellison
“What and how much had I lost by trying to do only what was expected of me instead of what I myself had wished to do?”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man
