Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.
David Mitchell
She was widely read enough to appreciate my literary wit but not so widely read that she knew my sources. I like that in a woman.
David Mitchell

Secrets affect you more than you’d think. You lie to keep them hidden. You steer talk away from them. You worry someone’ll discover yours and tell the world. You think you are in charge of the secret, but isn’t it the secret who’s actually using you?

David Mitchell
The healthy can't understand the emptied, the broken.

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?

As long as you can Houdini your way out of the Sisyphean constraints then originality happens.
David Mitchell
I'm a novelist, that's how I make my livelihood, and I concentrate on the novels.
David Mitchell
Implausible truth can serve one better than plausible fiction
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
What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
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.
