F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

Chuck Palahniuk
“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
