"Your past has already been written and the words cannot be changed, but your future is waiting to be written; make it a bestseller."

"I usually get the title for a book first, and I type it up immediately. I sit there and look at it and admire it, and I think to myself, I just need four thousand sentences to go with this and I'l have a book. It is such a pleasurable moment that I type many more title pages than I could ever use."

David Foster Wallace
"Worry and regret are both useless weights that provide no drag. They never did anything to slow down the planet for one goddamned second."
Andrew Smith
"I like the idea of living in a city - any city, especially a strange one - like the thought of traffic and crowds, of working in a bookstore, waiting tables in a coffee shop, who knew what kind of odd, solitary life I might slip into? Meals alone, waling the dogs in the evenings; and nobody knowing who I was."
