Marjane Satrapi
“I've never seen or touched anything."
"Can you explain then how you had children?"
"You're right. It's true I have four kids. Four! But still I have never seen the male organ. He came into the bedroom, he turned off the light, and then Bam! Bam! Bam! and voila I was pregnant! What's more, I was granted four girls. So I have never seen penises.”
Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries

Zoltan Andrejkovics
“Goals want to realize themselves.”
Zoltan Andrejkovics, The Invisible Game: The Mindset of a Winning Team

Barry Kirwan
“Nathan ran a palm over his forehead. He was on a mission with Taliban terrorists. His old sarge would be puking in his grave. He’d always maintained that the enemy of your enemy was still your fucking enemy.”
Barry Kirwan, When the children come

Lou Marinoff
“And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of its own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another, and thus they would create for themselves more suffering than nature inflicts on them as it is.” —ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER”
Lou Marinoff, Plato, Not Prozac!: Applying Eternal Wisdom to Everyday Problems

Hilary Mantel
“This was the usual thing. What I asked for was facts: what I got was a sermon.”
Hilary Mantel, An Experiment in Love
