Words are what you fight with but what you fight about is whether or not you're afraid of them.
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
Yay, Old'uns' Smart mastered sicks, miles, seeds an' made miracles ord'nary, but it din't master one thing, nay, a hunger in the hearts o' humans, yay, a hunger for more.
David Mitchell
Lying's wrong, but when the world spins backwards, a small wrong may be a big right.

David Mitchell
Words are very powerful and can lead anyone reading them or hearing them, into contemplation and insight. How the mind follows suit is rarely palpable or expected. This impact is not a matter of metaphysical effects nor of an unexplainable phenomenon. It’s simply part of being human.
David Mitchell
Why fight the 'natural' (oh, weaselly word!) order of things? Why? Because of this--one fine day, a purely predatory world shall consume itself. In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul for the human species, selfishness is extinction.
David Mitchell
A weapon men use against women is the refusal to take them seriously.
David Mitchell
The human world is made of stories, not people. The people the stories use to tell themselves are not to be blamed
David Mitchell
As long as our civilisation keeps trundling along generally forwards, then there is the possibility of a future where ethnicity is merely an interesting badge, not a uniform you can't take off.
David Mitchell
Little girls are like old cats. If they don't like you nothing on Earth will make them pretend to.
