More quotes by David Mitchell
These jokes the world plays, they're not funny at all.
David Mitchell
I'm not a great deep political thinker.
David Mitchell
Faith, the least exclusive club on Earth, has the craftiest doorman.
David Mitchell
Humans live in a pit of cheating, exploiting, hurting, incarcerating. Every time, the species wastes some part of what it could be. This waste is poisonous.
David Mitchell
People are obscenities. Would rather be music than be a mass of tubes squeezing semisolids around itself for a few decades before becoming so dribblesome it'll no longer function.
David Mitchell
Birdsong foamed in the hour-before-dawn garden.
David Mitchell
Creation never ceased on the sixth evening, it occurs to the young man. Creation unfolds around us, despite us and through us at the speed of days and nights. And we call it love.

Teachers're always using that in your own words. I hate that. Authors knit their sentences tight. It's their job. Why make us unpick them, just to put it back together more shonkily? How're you s'posed to say Kapellmeister if you can't say Kapellmeister?

I feel like something important has happened to me. Is this possible?
David Mitchell

David Mitchell

David Mitchell
One fine day a predatory world shall consume itself.
David Mitchell
Once any tyranny becomes accepted as ordinary, its victory is assured.
David Mitchell
... in a cycle as old as tribalism, ignorance of the Other engenders fear fear engenders hatred hatred engenders violence violence engenders further violence until the only rights, the only law, are whatever is willed by the most powerful.
David Mitchell
The truth of a myth...is not in its words but its patterns.
David Mitchell
Time is the speed at which the past decays.
David Mitchell
Sometimes, comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny, it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them, because I get the joke right, but I can't get the character right, and it just goes down like a lead balloon.
