Tanya Thompson
“Sure, a man’s home is his castle, but if he shares it with a woman, he knows his rule is limited.”
Tanya Thompson, Red Russia

“Just go on dancing with me like this forever, Garraty, and I'll never tire. We'll scrape our shoes on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.”
Richard Bachman, The Long Walk

William Golding
“Language fits over experience like a straight jacket.”
William Golding

Irvine Welsh
“Pero después, cuando estoy en sus brazos, como ahora mismo, es como si estuviera atrapado en un torno. Tengo ganas de levantarme y salir a dar una vuelta. «Qué impaciente eres, Mark», me dice ella. «¿Por qué no te relajas nunca?» «Es que me apetece dar un paseíto.» «Pero si fuera hace un frío que pela.» «Aun así. Igual compro algo para hacer un revuelto luego.» «Pues vete tú», dice ella, medio soñando; afloja el abrazo, da media vuelta y procura volver a conciliar el sueño. Y yo me visto y salgo por la puerta. ¿Cómo le explicas a alguien a quien quieres que, a pesar de todo, necesitas más? ¿Cómo? Se supone que el amor contiene todas las respuestas, y que nos lo da todo. All you need is love. Pero eso es una puta mentira: yo necesito algo, pero no es amor.”
Irvine Welsh, Skagboys

G.E.M. Anscombe
“The reckoning what to do or abstain from in particular circumstances will constantly include a reference, implicit or explicit, to generalities. […] Because of it human conduct is not left to be distinguished from the behavior of other animals by the fact that in it calculation is used by which to ascertain the means to perfectly particular ends. The human wants things like health and happiness and science and fair repute and virtue and prosperity, he does not simply want, e.g., that such-and-such a thing should be in such-and-such a place at such-and-such a time.”
G.E.M. Anscombe, The collected philosophical papers of G.E.M. Anscombe
