A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore

"There's a fine edge to new grief, it severs nerves, disconnects reality-there's merch in a sharp blade. Only with time, as the edge wears, does the real ache begin."

"Everyone is happierif they have someone to look down on, as well as someone to look up to, especially if they resent both. This is not only the Beta Male strategy for survival, but the basis for capitalism, democracy, and most religions."

"Most of us don't live our lives with one, integrated self that meets the world, we're a whole bunch of selves. When someone dies, they all integrate into the soul-the essence of who we are, beyond the different faces we wear throughout our lives."

"Medication and forgiveness can make for joyous moments with the dying-it's like they get to return to childhood- and because nothing in the future matters, because you don't have to train them for life, teach lessons, forge applicable and practical memories, all the joy can be wicked from those last moments and stored in the heart."

"Sometimes a man must muster all of his courage to simply sit still. How much humanity has been spoiled for the confusion of movement with progress, my friend? How much?"

" 'And in jazz, every moment is a crisis' Sato quoted Wynton Marsalis, 'and you bring all your skill to bear on that crisis.' "

Yaşam Bilgeliği Üzerine Aforizmalar - Arthur Schopenhauer

"İnsanlar birbirlerine verip alacak düşünceleri bulunmadığı için, iskambil kağıdı alıp verirler ve birbirlerinin parasını almaya çalışırlar. Ah, acınası insanoğlu!"

".... doğada zekanın derecesiyle birlikte, acı çekme yeteneğinin de artması....."

".... oysa cesaret, çok alt sıralarda yer alan düşük rütbeli bir subay erdemidir yalnızca, hatta bu konuda hayvanlar bile bizden üstündürler; örneğin 'aslan gibi cesur' denilir."

".... gururun en kelepir türü ulusal gururdur. Çünkü bu gurur kendisine kapılmış olanın gurur duyabileceği bireysel eksikliklerin yokluğunu ele verir."

"Çünkü çok mutsuz olmamanın en güvenilir yolu, çok mutlu olmayı istememektir.1

"İnsan ancak yalnız olduğunda özgürdür"

"... toplum bir ateşe benzetilebilir, akıllı kişiler uygun bir uzaklıktan ısınır ama içine düşmezken budala önce kendini yakıp sonra da yalnızlığın soğukluğuna sığınır ve ateşin yakıcılığından yakınır."

South of the Border, West of the Sun - Haruki Murakami

"After a certain length of time has passed, things harden. Like cement in a bucket. And we can't go back any more."

"Look at the rain long enough, with no thoughts in your head, and you gradually feel your body falling loose, shaking free the world's reality. Rain has the power to hypnotize."

"I don't get angry over things like that. This is a bar, after all. People come when they want to, leave when they feel like it. My job's just wait for them."

"Beneath my palm I could feel her life. No one could say how long that life would last. Whatever has form can disappear in an instant. Yukiko. This room. These walls, this ceiling, this window. They might all be gone before we knew it."

Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami

".... in everybody's life, there's a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can't go forward any more. and when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That's how we survive."

".... intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form and continue to thrive. They're a lost cause, and I don't want anyone like that coming in here."

"There are a lot of things that aren't your fault. Or mine, either. Not the fault of prophecies, or curses, or DNA, or absurdity. Not the fault of Structuralism or the Third Industrial Revolution. We all die and disappear, but that's because the mechanism of the world itself is built on destruction and loss. Our lives are just shadows of that guiding principle."

"Things outside you are projections of what's inside you, and what's inside you is a projection of what's outside. So when you step into the labyrinth outside you, at the same time you're stepping into the labyrinth inside. Most definitely a risky business."
