Peter Matthiessen
“This world is painted on a wild dark metal”
Peter Matthiessen, Shadow Country

Douglas Adams
“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

William Styron
“This was not judgment day - only morning. Morning: excellent and fair.”
William Styron, Sophie’s Choice

Cormac McCarthy
“Hard people make hard times. I've seen the meanness of humans till I don't know why god ain't put out the sun and gone away.”
Cormac McCarthy, Outer Dark

A.A. Milne
“My particular memory is of a quail-pie. Quails may be alright for Moses in the desert, but, if they are served in the form of pie at dinner, they should be distributed at a side-table, not handed round from guest to guest. The countess having shuddered at it and resumed her biscuit, it was left to me to make the opening excavation. The difficulty was to know where each quail began and ended: the job really wanted a professional quail-finder, who might have indicated the on the surface of the crust at which it would be most hopeful to dig for quails.”
A.A. Milne, If I May
