More quotes by David Mitchell
But no, we cross, crisscross, and recross our old tracks like figure skaters.
David Mitchell
... but it is attitude, not years, that condemns one to the ranks of the Undead, or else proffers salvation. In the domain of the young there dwells many an Undead soul. They rush about so, their inner putrefaction is concealed for a few decades, that is all.

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.
David Mitchell
Oh, bein' young ain't easy 'cos ev'rythin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' it for the first time.
David Mitchell
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core.
David Mitchell
The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak.
David Mitchell
What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
David Mitchell
...now I'm a spent firework but at least I've been a firework.
David Mitchell
Perhaps all human interaction is about wanting and getting.
David Mitchell
The world never stops unmaking what the world never stops making. But who says the world has to make sense?
David Mitchell
The truth of a myth...is not in its words but its patterns.
David Mitchell
The act of memory is an act of ghostwriting.
David Mitchell
Torturous advances won over generations can be lost by a single stroke of a myopic president's pen or a vainglorious general's sword.
