More quotes by David Mitchell
Nothing is as eloquent as nothing.
David Mitchell
Perhaps all human interaction is about wanting and getting.
David Mitchell
Teachers're always using that in your own words. I hate that. Authors knit their sentences tight. It's their job. Why make us unpick them, just to put it back together more shonkily? How're you s'posed to say Kapellmeister if you can't say Kapellmeister?
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

David Mitchell
Do ants get headaches?
David Mitchell
... but it is attitude, not years, that condemns one to the ranks of the Undead, or else proffers salvation. In the domain of the young there dwells many an Undead soul. They rush about so, their inner putrefaction is concealed for a few decades, that is all.
David Mitchell
. . .my dreams are the single unpredictable factor in my zoned days and nights. Nobody allots them, or censors them. Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.
David Mitchell
If swans weren't real myths'd make up.
David Mitchell
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
I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.
David Mitchell
Birdsong foamed in the hour-before-dawn garden.
