Japanese food makes me feel particularly good.
David Mitchell
I pass through many Me's in the course of my day, each one selfish with his time. The Lying-in-Bed me and the Enjoying-the-Hot-Shower Me are particularly selfish. The Late Me loathes the pair of them.

Why fight the 'natural' (oh, weaselly word!) order of things? Why? Because of this--one fine day, a purely predatory world shall consume itself. In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul for the human species, selfishness is extinction.
David Mitchell

David Mitchell
The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak.
David Mitchell
The her that lived in her looked out through her eyes, through my eyes, and at the me that lives in me.
David Mitchell
Peace, though beloved of our Lord, is a cardinal virtue only if your neighbors share your conscience.
David Mitchell
I recently bought a cat, but took it back a day later because our personalities clashed.
David Mitchell
If losers can exploit what their adversaries teach them, yes, losers can become winners in the long term.
David Mitchell
Try this for deviancy: fabricants are mirrors held up to purebloods' conscience what purebloods see reflected there sickens them. So they blame you for holding the mirror. I hid my shock by asking when purebloods might blame themselves. Mephi replied, History suggests, not until they are made to.
David Mitchell
Power, time, gravity, love. The forces that really kick ass are all invisible.
David Mitchell
