More quotes by David Mitchell
I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
David Mitchell

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.

David Mitchell

David Mitchell
One fine day a predatory world shall consume itself.
David Mitchell
Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.
David Mitchell
A life spent shaping a world I want Jackson to inherit, not one I fear Jackson shall inherit, this strikes me as a life worth the living.
David Mitchell
Probably in a parallel universe not far from here, I'm working for Nintendo.
David Mitchell
Reality is the page. Life is the word.
David Mitchell
Lying's wrong, but when the world spins backwards, a small wrong may be a big right.
David Mitchell
Nothing is as eloquent as nothing.
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
I still haven't quite got used to eating live fish.
David Mitchell
Faith, the least exclusive club on Earth, has the craftiest doorman.
