Text Quotes
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 Quotes) Torturous advances won over generations can be lost by a single stroke of a myopic president’s pen or a vainglorious general’s sword  (David Mitchell Quotes) My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?  (David Mitchell Quotes) Your turn has come to sift through the dreck of humanity for rare specks of originality  (David Mitchell Quotes) A book you finish reading is not the same book it was before you read it  (David Mitchell Quotes) Sometimes the fluffy bunny of incredulity zooms around the bend so rapidly that the greyhound of language is left, agog, in the starting cage  (David Mitchell Quotes) Creation never ceased on the sixth evening, it occurs to the young man. Creation unfolds around us, despite us and through us at the speed of days and nights. And we call it love  (David Mitchell Quotes) We are only what we know, and I wished to be so much more than I was, sorely  (David Mitchell Quotes) I am going to tell you a secret. Everything is about wanting. Everything. Things happen because of people wanting. Watch closely, and you’ll see what I mean  (David Mitchell Quotes) War’s an auction where whoever can pay the most in damage and still be standing wins  (David Mitchell Quotes) So little is actually worthy of belief or disbelief. Better to strive to coexist than seek to disapprove  (David Mitchell Quotes) Human beings need to watch out for reasonless niceness too. It’s never reasonless and its reason’s not usually nice  (David Mitchell Quotes) Always, it is the poor people who pay. And always, it is the poor people’s women who pay the most  (David Mitchell Quotes) Humans live in a pit of cheating, exploiting, hurting, incarcerating. Every time, the species wastes some part of what it could be. This waste is poisonous  (David Mitchell Quotes) If you’re in your life, chance. Viewed from the outside, like a book you’re reading, it’s fate all the way  (David Mitchell Quotes) Why human beings despise what is beautiful and good, and seek to destroy the things they need the most  (David Mitchell Quotes) The her that lived in her looked out through her eyes, through my eyes, and at the me that lives in me  (David Mitchell Quotes) Time is what stops history happening at once; time is the speed at which the past disappears  (David Mitchell Quotes) She was widely read enough to appreciate my literary wit but not so widely read that she knew my sources. I like that in a woman  (David Mitchell Quotes) Autumn is leaving its mellowness behind for its spiky, rotted stage. Don’t remember summer even saying goodbye  (David Mitchell Quotes) Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future  (David Mitchell Quotes) If losers can exploit what their adversaries teach them, yes, losers can become winners in the long term  (David Mitchell Quotes) Don’t bemoan your misspent life quite yet. Forgive me for flaunting my experience, but you have no conception of what a misspent life constitutes  (David Mitchell Quotes) I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so  (David Mitchell Quotes) I believe death is only a door. One closes, and another opens. If I were to imagine heaven, I would imagine a door opening. And he would be waiting for me there  (David Mitchell Quotes) You can maintain power over people, as long as you give them something. Rob a man of everything, and that man will no longer be in your power  (David Mitchell Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) History admits no rules, only outcomes. What precipitates outcomes? Vicious acts and virtuous acts. What precipitates acts? Belief  (David Mitchell Quotes)
