The Thief | Fuminori Nakamura

"The most important thing about carrying out a crime is planning. People who commit crimes without planning are idiots. ... But because they're idiots in the first place they still commit the crime. They can't help it."

Ask the Dust | John Fante

"When it was all gone, the dream of floating toward bursting stars, and the flesh returned to hold my blood in its prosaic channels, when the room returned, the dirty sordid room, the vacant meaningless ceiling, the weary wasted world, I felt nothing but the old sense of guilt, the sense of crime and violation, the sin of destruction."

"Sometimes an idea floated harmlessly through the room. It was like a small white bird. It meant no ill-will. It only wanted to help me, dear little bird. But I would strike at it, hammer it out across the keyboard, and it would die on my hands."
