Quotes

You can be so much in a room that the world outside turns to water. You've got the heater blowing out burnt air, but you still don't get warm. Your ankles are singed, but your head's in a bucket of ice. Time drips like a stalactite. The water for the coffee boils away in a tree of steam. Iain Sinclair
I looked at this first sheet, words scribbled confidently on a lined pad. My attempt at making contact the spirit of Llandor. Disaster. I couldn’t do the language or locate the period. The pad of paper, with its grey-mauve rules, was all wrong. It was intended for meaningful work, figures, calculations, notes. Iain Sinclair
The poet he was escorting into Wales was a Horus-headed dud of some personal magnetism. The hair was feathered gell, the nose hooked. He stared at me and he didn’t. His eyes belonged to a magician; one bored into you, right through the lens into the depths of the vitreous humor—while the other popped and wobbled in the style of Ben Turpin. He folded in on himself, profile sharp as an axe. A labrys. This man would have no problem seeing around a corner. Iain Sinclair
Iain Sinclair quote: "Light is all memory."
Light is all memory. Iain Sinclair
I was gazing back in the direction of Wales, watching the Prudence clone, when I noticed a couple of drunks lurching in my direction. Night people who live in service stations. The insufficiently deceased. Iain Sinclair
All kinds of weird stuff going down, whisperings in corners, significant matches struck and blown out. The whores, unoccupied, were drinking heavily. The police, occupied were drinking even more heavily. The grass in the corner wanted to drink most heavily, but lacked the poke. Iain Sinclair

Why not add another yarn? That’s all we are in the end, any of us, a couple of dozen unreliable stories. Iain Sinclair
One thing I had learnt, the last person you should ask for a solution is the author. If he knew where he was going, he’d stop dead in his tracks. Iain Sinclair
Iain Sinclair quote: "An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without..."
An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys. Iain Sinclair
Iain Sinclair quote: "Men of the cloth live in this monologue, it is their due:..."
Men of the cloth live in this monologue, it is their due: nobody talks back to a pulpit. Iain Sinclair
Iain Sinclair quote: "drunk enough on earth's liquors to relish the prospect of the..."
...drunk enough on earth's liquors to relish the prospect of the knife. Iain Sinclair
Mossy had trouble breathing. He was not convinced the rewards repaid the effort. He took breath in, but after that let it fend for itself. Iain Sinclair
That made sense of gabby meetings: salient points isolated from the gush of acoustic froth. This paper belonged on a clipboard, not being defaced by dud literature. --Iain Sinclair Iain Sinclair
