“I am damnably sick of Italy, Italian and Italians, outrageously, illogically sick.... I hate to think that Italians ever did anything in the way of art.... What did they do but illustrate a page or so of the New Testament! They themselves think they have a monopoly in the line. I am dead tired of their bello and bellezza.” ThinkingWayArtHateLinesPagesSickI HateTiredItalianTestamentMonopolyNew Testament Book:Letters Source: Letters
“I'm beginning to feel that no author has the right to tear his characters apart if he doesn't know how, or feel that he knows how (poor sucker) to put them together again.

“They all have tired mouths and bright seamless souls. And a longing (as for sin) sometimes haunts their dreams. They are almost all alike; in God's gardens they keep still, like many, many intervals in his might and melody. Only when they spread their wings are they wakers of a wind: as if God with his broad sculptor- hands leafed through the pages in the dark book of the beginning.” IfsStillsBookSoulSometimesDreamHandsMightDarkSinWindPagesMouthsGardenLongingTiredWingsSpreadMelodyBroadsIntervalsSculptorsSeamless Book:The Book of Images Source: The Book of Images
“Love? I need a lot of love." Of course you do. Everyone does. It's funny that we never say it. It's OK to scream, 'I'm starving' in public if you are hungry; it's OK to make a fuss and say, 'I'm so sleepy', if you are tired; but somehow we cannot say, 'I need some more love.' Why can't we say it? It's just as basic a need." - ONE NIGHT @ THE CALL CENTER Chapter 36 pages 293-4” IfsNeedsDoeNightCoursesPagesTiredHungryScreamChaptersStarvingOne NightSleepyCall Center Author:Chetan Bhagat
“I am so beastly tired of mankind and the world that nothing can interest me unless it contains a couple of murders on each page or deals with the horrors unnameable and unaccountable that leer down from the external universes.” WorldUniverseInterestDealsMankindCoupleHorrorPagesMurderTiredBeastly Author:H.
