“Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.”

— Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited (via books-n-quotes)

“Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed. He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. He’s making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”

— Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

“There’s no need to talk about it, because the truth of what one says lies in what one does.”

— Bernhard Schlink, The Reader (via books-n-quotes)

“When life sucks, throw yourself into art.”

— Monica Drake, Clown Girl (via books-n-quotes)
