Nothing is as eloquent as nothing.
David Mitchell
- This isn't an interrogation or a trail. Your version of the truth is the only thing that matters. -Truth is singular. It's 'versions' are mistruths.
David Mitchell
Implausible truth can serve one better than plausible fiction
David Mitchell
A weapon men use against women is the refusal to take them seriously.

I think all writers of my age who are brought up on films probably by the age of 16 have seen many more films than they have read classics of literature. We can't help but be influenced by film. Film has got some great tricks that it's taught writers.
David Mitchell
why human beings despise what is beautiful and good, and seek to destroy the things they need the most
David Mitchell
Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.
David Mitchell
We are both busy people, so let's cut the small talk.
David Mitchell

Try this for deviancy: fabricants are mirrors held up to purebloods' conscience what purebloods see reflected there sickens them. So they blame you for holding the mirror. I hid my shock by asking when purebloods might blame themselves. Mephi replied, History suggests, not until they are made to.
David Mitchell
What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
David Mitchell
As many truths as men. Occasionally, I glimpse a truer Truth, hiding in imperfect simulacrums of itself, but as I approach, it bestirs itself & moves deeper into the thorny swamp of dissent.
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
Write something every single day, even if it's just three lines. And it doesn't matter if it's any good - just write something every day.
David Mitchell
Maybe then you comprehend, speaking one language only is a prison!
David Mitchell
The act of memory is an act of ghostwriting.
