More quotes by David Mitchell
One fine day a predatory world shall consume itself.
David Mitchell
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
Ive never had cocaine. I work in showbusiness and no one has ever offered me cocaine. Can you believe that? It makes me worry Im not always the life and soul of the party that I feel like in my head.
David Mitchell
Assured her I've never loved anyone except myself and have no intention of starting now.
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
Music’s a wood you walk through.
David Mitchell
I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.

But no, we cross, crisscross, and recross our old tracks like figure skaters.
David Mitchell
The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak.
David Mitchell
The mind has a mind of its own. It shows us pictures. Pictures of the past and the might-one-day-be. This mind's mind exerts its own will, too, and has its own voice.
David Mitchell
Nothing is as eloquent as nothing.
David Mitchell
If losers can exploit what their adversaries teach them, yes, losers can become winners in the long term.
David Mitchell
I pass through many Me's in the course of my day, each one selfish with his time. The Lying-in-Bed me and the Enjoying-the-Hot-Shower Me are particularly selfish. The Late Me loathes the pair of them.
David Mitchell
Once any tyranny becomes accepted as ordinary, its victory is assured.
David Mitchell
There's a link between bigotry and bad spelling.
David Mitchell
The learnin' mind is the livin' mind, Meronym said, an any sort o'Smart is truesome Smart, old Smart or new high Smart or low.
