“I want my name to mean me.”
Mark Haddon (Author), The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Mark Haddon
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

“And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery…and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.”
Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Mark Haddon
“And when you look at the sky you know you are looking at stars which are hundreds and thousands of light-years away from you. And some of the stars don’t even exist anymore because their light has taken so long to get to us that they are already dead, or they have exploded and collapsed into red dwarfs. And that makes you seem very small, and if you have difficult things in you life it is nice to think that they are what is called negligible, which means they are so small you don’t have to take them into account when you are calculating something.”
Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Mark Haddon
“And people who believe in God think God has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. Or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.”
