Samuel Beckett
“let us say before i go any further, that i forgive nobody. i wish them all an atrocious life in the fires of icy hell and in the execrable generations to come.”
Samuel Beckett, Malone Dies

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

George Orwell
“A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
George Orwell, All Art is Propaganda: Critical Essays

“Contra la policía/Against the Police

My entire Oeuvre is against the police
If I write a Love poem it’s against the police
And if I sing the nakedness of bodies I sing against the police
And if I make this Earth a metaphor I make a metaphor against the police
If I speak wildly in my poems I speak against the police
And if I manage to create a poem it’s against the police
I haven’t written a single word, a verse, a stanza that isn’t against the police
All my prose is against the police
My entire Oeuvre
Including this poem
My whole Oeuvre
Is against the police.”
Miguel James

Philip Roth
“Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.”
Philip Roth

I pretty much created this group to communicate with my friends about books in lieu of Facebook, but anyone can join I guess.
