Do ants get headaches?
David Mitchell
Mother used to say escape is never further than the nearest book.
David Mitchell
Reality is the page. Life is the word.
David Mitchell
What do I miss? Second-hand bookshops where I can find things I had no idea I wanted. AbeBooks helps, but it doesn't have that smell.
David Mitchell
My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?
David Mitchell
The world never stops unmaking what the world never stops making. But who says the world has to make sense?
David Mitchell
Peace, though beloved of our Lord, is a cardinal virtue only if your neighbors share your conscience.

If, by happiness, you mean the absence of adversity I and all fabricants are the happiest stratum in corpocracy as genomicists insist. However, if happiness means the conquest of adversity or a sense of purpose, or the xercise of one’s will to power, then of all Nea So Copros’s slaves we surely are the most miserable.
David Mitchell

David Mitchell
Beyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of recent footprints.
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.
David Mitchell
Words are what you fight with but what you fight about is whether or not you're afraid of them.
David Mitchell
Under the Enrichment Laws, consumers have to spend a fixed quota of dollars each month, depending on their strata. Hoarding is an anti-corpocratic crime.
David Mitchell
How vulgar, this hankering after immortality, how vain, how false. Composers are merely scribblers of cave paintings. One writes music because winter is eternal and because, if one didn't, the wolves and blizzards would be at one's throat all the sooner.
David Mitchell
Freedom!- is the fatuous jingle of our civilization, but only those deprived of it have the barest inkling re: what the stuff actually is.
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
I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
