David Mitchell
Oh, bein' young ain't easy 'cos ev'rythin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' it for the first time.
David Mitchell

David Mitchell

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
I am going to tell you a secret. Everything is about wanting. Everything. Things happen because of people wanting. Watch closely, and you’ll see what I mean.
David Mitchell
These jokes the world plays, they're not funny at all.
David Mitchell
Why ask a question whose answer would demand ten more questions?
David Mitchell
Humans live in a pit of cheating, exploiting, hurting, incarcerating. Every time, the species wastes some part of what it could be. This waste is poisonous.
David Mitchell
Oh, diplomacy ... it mops up war's spillages legitimizes its outcomes gives the strong state the means to impose its will on a weaker one, while saving its fleets and battalions for weightier opponents.
David Mitchell
What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
