More quotes by David Mitchell
I'm from a time and place where bigheadedness was a really savage crime, and you'd get cut down for it by your peers and parents.
David Mitchell
But no, we cross, crisscross, and recross our old tracks like figure skaters.
David Mitchell
I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so.
David Mitchell
You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
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

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
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
Gosh. The subjunctive is always the first to go.
David Mitchell
It's a small world. It keeps recrossing itself.
David Mitchell
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core.
David Mitchell
If swans weren't real myths'd make up.
David Mitchell
Writing is probably one-fifth coming up with the stuff, and four-fifths self-editing again and again and again.
