Quotes

  • What good is the illusion of fiction if it cannot show us a way to become the people we need to be?
  • In their exquisite self-centeredness our ancestors believed that they were alone in the universe. At the same time, they had convinced themselves that Earth was the blue apple of God’s eye and the sole reason for all of creation. This two-headed fallacy caused humanity both delusions of grandeur and a paranoiac sense of loneliness.
  • A slight grin that has nothing to do with merriment is the sure sign that she is about to set things straight. Her overall air is one of constant suspicion, and ever readiness to take offense.
  • He’s no physician, he’s Grandfather Mess. He couldn’t cure a pain in the ass unless he left the room.
  • “My dear Philosopher,” said the countess. “You give sanity a bad name.”
  • Real memories intrude now and then as do self-admonitions for a wasted life, but the smoke’s other feature is that it lets you not give a shit about anything but taking in more smoke.
