Neil Gaiman

With the slow fascination of fear, he lifted himself on one arm and turned his eyes toward the blood-curdling blackness of the window. Through it shone the stars! Not Earth's feeble thirty-six hundred Stars visible to the eye; Lagash was in the center of a giant cluster. Thirty thousand mighty suns shone down in a soul-searing splendor that was more frighteningly cold in its awful indifference than the bitter wind that shivered across the cold, horribly bleak world. Isaac Asimov
She wanted to stay focused, one thing following sensibly upon another. There were moments when she wasn't talking so much as fading into time, dropping back into some funnelled stretch of recent past Don DeLillo
Hiro is a talented drifter. This is the kind of lifestyle that sounded romantic to him as recently as five years ago. But in the bleak light of full adulthood, which is to one's early twenties as Sunday morning is to Saturday night, he can clearly see what it really amounts to: He's broke and unemployed. Neal Stephenson
Oscar Wilde quote: "The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it."
The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. Oscar Wilde
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

In the manner of one recognizing a line from a familiar poem in a strange book. Neil Gaiman
Haruki Murakami quote: "[...] Shimamoto had her own little world within her. A world..."
[...] Shimamoto had her own little world within her. A world that was for her alone, one I could not enter. Haruki Murakami

The lure of the fair was the perfect harmony of its joyous decadence, its burned-out dishonored vulgarity, its riot of colors and smells, its jangling, tawdry music, and its wicked glimpse into the outlaw life of hucksters, tattoo... Pat Conroy
A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage. Napoleon Bonaparte
