QUOTES BY Thomas Pynchon


Every weirdo in the world is on my wavelength.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.

Life's single lesson: that there is more accident to it than a man can ever admit to in a lifetime and stay sane.

They're in love. Fuck the war.

Why should things be easy to understand?

Keep cool but care

Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.

The general public has long been divided into two parts; those who think that science can do anything and those who are afraid it will.

A screaming comes across the sky.
