My Hero Quotes

“The theory about the US Library of Congress in Washington DC, which nobody seriously believes, states that, because the library holds a copy of pretty well every book there is, it’s theoretically possible to break out of the real world and into fiction through a fault-line somewhere in the boiler room; the argument being that: (a) truth is stranger than fiction (b) there’s a lot of fiction about nowadays which is so weird that even Aleister Crowley would have to stop halfway through, go back and read the first chapter again before he could work out what’s supposed to be happening; which is a pretty tough act to follow”

“(a) truth is stranger than fiction (b) there’s a lot of fiction about nowadays which is so weird that even Aleister Crowley would have to stop halfway through, go back and read the first chapter again before he could work out what’s supposed to be happening; which is a pretty tough act to follow (c) the idea of there being a hole in the reality-fiction interface in the basement of an American public building is so profoundly kooky that it must, a fortiori, be true.”
