“I love you more than words. And I am a big fan of words.”
Joe Dunthorne, Submarine

“I would never say snog. I would say osculate." She looks at me as if to say: why do you exist?”
Joe Dunthorne, Submarine

“I penetrated the outer cell membrane with a nanosyringe."
"You poked it with a stick?"
"No!" I said. "Well. Yes. But it was a scientific poke with a very scientific stick.”
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“Exercise II.

Joe Dunthorne, Submarine

“I don't know if I've come of age, but I'm certainly older now. I feel shrunken, as if there's a tiny ancient Oliver Tate inside me operating the levers of a life-size Oliver-shaped shell. A shell on which a decrepit picture show replays the same handful of images. Every night I come to the same place and wait till the sky catches up with my mood. The pattern is set. This is, no doubt, the end.”
Joe Dunthorne, Submarine
