More quotes by David Mitchell

David Mitchell
clocks in disagreement are worse than no clock at all.
David Mitchell
Music’s a wood you walk through.

Probably in a parallel universe not far from here, I'm working for Nintendo.
David Mitchell
Write something every single day, even if it's just three lines. And it doesn't matter if it's any good - just write something every day.
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
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
The uncreated and the dead exist solely in our actual and virtual pasts.

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
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
The mind abhors a vacancy & is wont to people it with phantoms.
David Mitchell
People are obscenities. Would rather be music than be a mass of tubes squeezing semisolids around itself for a few decades before becoming so dribblesome it'll no longer function.
David Mitchell
Memories are their own descendents masquerading as the ancestors of the present.
David Mitchell
The song instantly insisted it'd never existed.
David Mitchell
Truth is singular. Its 'versions' are mistruths.
David Mitchell
If we believe that humanity may transcend tooth and claw, if we believe divers races & creeds can share this world as peaceably as the orphans share their candlenut tree, if we believe leaders must be just, violence muzzled, power accountable & the riches of the Earth & its Oceans shared equitably, such a world will come to pass.
