“Retrograde mercury is the only enemy that writers have.”
“Retrograde time is forward time which has passed the turning point; then as it turns back it is freighted with the load of accumulated knowledge. It is information rich. Logically, then, in its retrograde tracking, it would divest itself of its knowledge: teach rather than learn, so that when it arrived at the other end, it would be information poor, even info empty.”
Source: The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick
“Retrophrenology:
It works like this. Phrenology, as everyone knows, is a way of reading someone's character, aptitude and abilities by examining the bumps and hollows on their head. Therefore - according to the kind of logical thinking that characterizes the Ankh-Morpork mind - it should be possible to mould someone's character by giving them carefully graded bumps in all the right places. You can go into a shop and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection and a side order of hysteria. What you actually get is hit on the head with a selection of different size mallets, but it creates employment and keeps the money in circulation, and that's the main thing.”

“Retrouver l'appartement au retour de vacances est délicieux : il pue un peu, il sent notre famille et c'est une odeur si rassurante, on ne la sent comme ça si concentrée qu'une fois par an, les fenêtres sont restées fermées, les odeurs de cuisine ont eu le temps de s'évaporer totalement, et il ne subsiste plus qu'un parfum très dense qui mêle le bois des meubles, leur vernis, une très légère décomposition des rideaux et des dessus de lit, un effritement imperceptible de la peinture des murs. Je me précipite dans ma chambre pour vérifier que tout est là : je redeviens son propriétaire. J'ouvre un tiroir où une partie de la fameuse odeur est encore plus concentrée : j'y prends mon album de timbres.”

“Return to a simpler life, and you will see that behind the expensive cars, the fashionable clothes, the empty celebrities, the fancy houses and the thick layers of make-up life has real meaning.

“Return to Shaoshan I regret the passing, the dying, of the vague dream: my native orchards thirty-two years ago. Yet red banners roused the serfs, who seized three-pronged lances when the warlords raised whips in their black hands. We were brave and sacrifice was easy and we asked the sun, the moon, to alter the sky. Now I see a thousand waves of beans and rice and am happy. In the evening haze heroes are coming home.”

“Returning to bed, Rachel strokes Zachariah's black curls as he drifts into sleep and appreciates the shape and fractal geometry there, the self-similarity and infinity of scale. She breathes in at his scalp, then presses her ear to his, listening for the clamour of voices within, to the long line of fighting men who made him, his head a seashell. There is a template for the fighting man. Rachel listens across three times nine countries, as the fairy-tale saying goes, across three times nine countries in the thirtieth tsardom . . .”
