More quotes by David Mitchell
I'm a novelist, that's how I make my livelihood, and I concentrate on the novels.
David Mitchell
over 85% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
David Mitchell
Words are very powerful and can lead anyone reading them or hearing them, into contemplation and insight. How the mind follows suit is rarely palpable or expected. This impact is not a matter of metaphysical effects nor of an unexplainable phenomenon. It’s simply part of being human.
David Mitchell
Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.
David Mitchell
I think we think in terms of stories.
David Mitchell
Science devises ever bloodier means of war until humanity's powers of destruction overcome our powers of creation and our civilisation drives itself to extinction.
David Mitchell

David Mitchell
Beyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of recent footprints.
David Mitchell
I recently bought a cat, but took it back a day later because our personalities clashed.
David Mitchell
The world never stops unmaking what the world never stops making. But who says the world has to make sense?
David Mitchell
Creation never ceased on the sixth evening, it occurs to the young man. Creation unfolds around us, despite us and through us at the speed of days and nights. And we call it love.
David Mitchell
These jokes the world plays, they're not funny at all.
David Mitchell
Loneliness is an integral part of travelling. I used to think it was the downside to travelling, but now I realise it is a necessary educative part of it to be embraced.
David Mitchell
Perhaps all human interaction is about wanting and getting.
