Quote by Martin Amis

“How astonishingly intimate the business of fiction is, more intimate than anything that issues from the psychiatrist’s couch or even the lovers’ bed. You see the soul, pinned and wriggling on the wall.”

“تنشأ العاطفة بداخلنا في غفلة منا وغالباً ما يكون ذلك ضد ارادتنا. وبمجرد ما نتعمد الاحساس بها، لا تعود العاطفة عاطفة، بل تتحول إلى محاكاة عاطفة، وإلى استعراض لها. لكن هذا لا يعني أن الشخص الذي يحاكي عاطفة لا يحس بها. فالممثل الذي يؤدي دور الملك لير العجوز يشعر على الخشبة وأمام الجمهور بالحزن الصادق الذي يشعر به رجل مهجور عانى من الخيانة لكن هذا الشعور يتبخر لحظة نهاية التمثيل. لهذا فان االانسان العاطفي بعدما يبهرنا بمشاعره العظيمة، لا يلبث أن يحيرنا بلامبالاته الملغزة.”

“Chief Johnson has full faith on us. Which means if I can complete this task and hunt down the murderer, not only does the chief won't feel any uncertainty on Anthony and I, but the spirits of the victims can move on. It sounds silly to believe that the undead is still around, but it is the truth. And since I have a good heart, I must use it.”

“It has been said that Shakespeare, the great delineator of human character, has failed in distinguishing his principal women—and that such as he meant to be amiable are all equally gentle and good. How difficult then it is for a novelist to give to one of his heroines any very marked feature which shall not disfigure her! Too much reason and self-command destroy the interest we take in her distresses. It has been observed, that Clarissa is so equal to every trial as to diminish our pity. Other virtues than gentleness, pity, filial obedience, or faithful attachment, hardly belong to the sex.”
