More quotes by David Mitchell
If I want to act relaxed, it's going to take all my cunning, skill, and concentration.
David Mitchell
Have you noticed, said John, how countries call theirs 'sovereign nuclear deterrents,' but call the other countries' ones 'weapons of mass destruction'?

I have always unswervingly held, that God, in our civilizing world, manifests Himself not in the miracles of biblical age, but in progress. It is progress that leads humanity up the ladder towards the God-head. No Jacob's ladder this, no, but rather Civilization's Ladder, if you will.
David Mitchell
Love's pure free joy when it works, but when it goes bad you pay for the good hours at loan-shark prices.

David Mitchell
Teachers're always using that in your own words. I hate that. Authors knit their sentences tight. It's their job. Why make us unpick them, just to put it back together more shonkily? How're you s'posed to say Kapellmeister if you can't say Kapellmeister?
David Mitchell
I think we think in terms of stories.
David Mitchell
Human hunger birthed the Civlize, but human hunger killed it too.
David Mitchell
Lunatics are writers whose works write them.
David Mitchell
The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak.
David Mitchell
I am, emphatically. Mental illness triggered by xperimental error.
David Mitchell
The truth of a myth...is not in its words but its patterns.
David Mitchell
What wouldn't I give now for a never-changing map of the ever-constant ineffable? To possess, as it were, an atlas of clouds.
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.
