More quotes by David Mitchell
The uncreated and the dead exist solely in our actual and virtual pasts.
David Mitchell

David Mitchell

David Mitchell
Have you noticed, said John, how countries call theirs 'sovereign nuclear deterrents,' but call the other countries' ones 'weapons of mass destruction'?
David Mitchell
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
The best way to get out of debt is not to seek to get out of debt, but to seek to create wealth
David Mitchell
I am going to tell you a secret. Everything is about wanting. Everything. Things happen because of people wanting. Watch closely, and you’ll see what I mean.
David Mitchell
