Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
“Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”
― J. D. Salinger

Irvine Welsh
“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”
― Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

Alan Moore
“All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen

Stephen  King
“The assertion that Americans love violence and bathe in it daily is a self-serving lie promulgated by fundamentalist religious types and America's propaganda-savvy gun-pimps. It's believed by people who don't read novels, play video games, or go to many movies”
― Stephen King, Guns

Alan Moore
“Without me, things would have been different. If the fat man hadn't crushed the watch, if I hadn't left it in the test chamber. . . Am I to blame, then? Or the fat man? Or my father, for choosing my career? Which of us is responsible? Who makes the world?”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen
