Warren Ellis
“Another day down the mines of our lives. We drink 'til we stink and smoke 'til we choke because that's how we get things done, you and me. Spending our lives making things and making things out of our lives, because anything else would be dull as hell and we're damned if we're going to sit at the other end of whatever years we get saying, well, what the fuck was that for?

Years of scars, lipstick and tears, and every day the dawn comes on we turn our eyes up in surprise, saying, "There's that goddamn sun again.”
Warren Ellis, Do Anything Volume 1

Walter  Scott
“Are ye come light-handed, ye son of a toom whistle?”
Walter Scott, Redgauntlet

Stephen Graham Jones
“If there's any better place to get stoned than a rolling box full of pastry, then they didn't have the keys for it, anyway.”
Stephen Graham Jones, Zombie Bake-Off

Philip K. Dick
“I mean, after all, you have to consider we're only made out of dust. That's admittedly not much to go on and we shouldn't forget that. But even considering, I mean it's sort of a bad beginning, we're not doing too bad. So I personally have faith that even in this lousy situation we're faced with we can make it. You get me?”
Philip K. Dick, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

Philip K. Dick
“It takes a certain amount of courage, he thought, to face yourself and say with candor, I'm rotten. I've done evil and I will again. It was no accident; it emanated from the true, authentic me.”
Philip K. Dick, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
