David Mitchell
clocks in disagreement are worse than no clock at all.
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
'Y' is about the weakest letter of all. 'Y' can't make up its mind if it's a vowel or a consonant, can it?
David Mitchell
I feel like something important has happened to me. Is this possible?
David Mitchell
But no, we cross, crisscross, and recross our old tracks like figure skaters.
David Mitchell
The best way to get out of debt is not to seek to get out of debt, but to seek to create wealth
David Mitchell
Implausible truth can serve one better than plausible fiction
David Mitchell
A life spent shaping a world I want Jackson to inherit, not one I fear Jackson shall inherit, this strikes me as a life worth the living.
David Mitchell
