From β€œNotes from a Regicide” by Isaac Fellman: β€œUntil recently, I believed in God, and one of the things I believed is that God tells his jokes economically. He doesn't misdirect the way some comedians do. He doesn't ramble for effect. And he never has to back up, to hastily add in, β€˜What I forgot to tell you is that his dad is a colorblind sign painter.’ The joke is through in thirty seconds: the painter, the portrait, the prince, and the death of the prince.”

From β€œRatner’s Star” by Don DeLillo: This feeling always occurred when he was on the verge of solving a drawn-out mathematical problem. It seemed to mean, nearing the end, that he preferred to abandon all the structural forms, the intersecting perspectives, the entire weightless system of exact relationships; discard it all in exchange for the scantest condition of existence…
From β€œRatner’s Star” by Don DeLillo: β€œThere were times when he felt the lure of a submoronic mode of being. During such periods his mind turned opaque, making it hard for him to perceive the simplest incentive. It would be easy, he believed, to spend a lifetime in this stateless zone. Content to be organic. Content to perform only monotonous tasks, Content to forsake coherent speech. The spirit that informed him would swiftly dwindle, replaced by the soul of a plant. In time he'd dispense with voluntary motion and the natural management of his body. Content to smell himself and dream of downy molds.”

From β€œRatner’s Star” by Don DeLillo: "If I seem to be raising my voice," Mohole said in a calm tone, "it's only because I recognize your right to correct me. I wouldn't be yelling if I didn't respect you. Yelling is a bond between people who respect…”
From β€œThe Machine in Shaft Ten” by M John Harrison: β€œHowever accidentally, he had impelled the human race to confront its own clown-like glorification of its metaphysical inferiority - and I think he felt the resultant terrifying sense of impotent rage more than anybody. β€œ'With any luck, he said, 'when we have finished here, Man will have no place or purpose at all. We've lived too long with them. We deserve the dignity of pointlessness.’”

From "The Gift" (1985) by M. John Harrison: "After all why should our goal be the reinstatement of an illusory 'exact' relationship between events and words? If you probe in the ashes you will never learn anything about the fire: by the time the ashes can be handled the meaning has passed on. Every adventure is a cup so empty it can be drunk from again and again and again. Every adventure is so perfect it verges on silence. (p112) "His hair has gone grey. "Perhaps from all this reading, his eyes are inflamed, caked at the corners, deeper-set than he remembers."

From "Book of Records" by Madeline Thien: 'Spinoza watched the grey cat re-emerge from the church and the tall trees bending as if towards a beloved sound. This world, he thought, was made of every instant which had ever occurred. This place, this nature to which all living things belonged, remembered. Its existence was its structure. "To have any hope of truth," he said, "we must put aside our fear. Perhaps our deepest fear is that there is no one and nothing to remember us but God."'
