“Beware of clichés. Not just the clichés that Martin Amis is at war with. There are clichés of response as well as expression. There are clichés of observation and of thought—even of conception.

Don DeLillo

“Panic was the death of thought.”
Leon Garfield, The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris

Elizabeth Bowen
“I wonder where father's gone. He repeatedly goes out but never comes in.”
Elizabeth Bowen, Eva Trout

Bernard Cornwell
“Words are like breath," she said, "you say them and they're gone. But writing traps them.”
Bernard Cornwell, The Pale Horseman
