More quotes by Thomas Pynchon

Thomas Pynchon
My mother is the war,' declares Roger Mexico, leaning over to open the door.
Thomas Pynchon
What North Europe thinks of as its history is actually quite provincial and of limited interest. Different sorts of Christian killing each other, and that's about it.
Thomas Pynchon
There was no difference between the behavior of a god and the operations of pure chance.
Thomas Pynchon
The general public has long been divided into two parts those who think that science can do anything and those who are afraid it will.
Thomas Pynchon
If there is something comforting - religious, if you want - about paranoia, there is still also anti-paranoia, where nothing is connected to anything, a condition not many of us can bear for long.
Thomas Pynchon
In recent weeks, in true messianic style, it has come clear to her that her real identity is literally, the force of gravity. I am Gravity, I am That against which the Rocket must struggle, to which prehistoric wastes submit and are transmuted to the very substance of History.
