More quotes by David Mitchell
I think all writers of my age who are brought up on films probably by the age of 16 have seen many more films than they have read classics of literature. We can't help but be influenced by film. Film has got some great tricks that it's taught writers.

So winners, Hae-Joo proposed, are the real losers because they learn nothing? What, then, are losers? Winners?
David Mitchell
Human hunger birthed the Civlize, but human hunger killed it too.

As long as our civilisation keeps trundling along generally forwards, then there is the possibility of a future where ethnicity is merely an interesting badge, not a uniform you can't take off.
David Mitchell
If we believe that humanity may transcend tooth and claw, if we believe divers races & creeds can share this world as peaceably as the orphans share their candlenut tree, if we believe leaders must be just, violence muzzled, power accountable & the riches of the Earth & its Oceans shared equitably, such a world will come to pass.
David Mitchell
I am, emphatically. Mental illness triggered by xperimental error.
David Mitchell
I'm not a great deep political thinker.
David Mitchell
Perhaps all human interaction is about wanting and getting.
David Mitchell

David Mitchell
The act of memory is an act of ghostwriting.
