David Rakoff
“I am the furthest thing from a do-gooder. I am venal and flib and too clever by half, I know, but the thrill of the most brilliantly quicksilver aperҫu is no match for the self-interested high I get from having done someone a good turn. You'd think I'd do more good turns as a result, but there you go.”
David Rakoff, Half Empty

Scott Lynch
“Nice bird, asshole!”
Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora

J.K. Rowling
“Oh shit, that's right I'm a hat. (In reference to the hat's attempted suicide)”
JK Rowling

“Aha!" I said. (Not the catchphrase just a thought.)”
Alan Partridge, From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast

J.D. Salinger
“I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something, they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life. Everybody'd think I was just a poor deaf-mute bastard and they'd leave me alone . . . I'd cook all my own food, and later on, if I wanted to get married or something, I'd meet this beautiful girl that was also a deaf-mute and we'd get married. She'd come and live in my cabin with me, and if she wanted to say anything to me, she'd have to write it on a piece of paper, like everybody else”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
