Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

Norman Maclean

T.S. Eliot
“No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,

At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—

T.S. Eliot.

Frank Herbert
“Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

I am haunted by waters.”
Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories
