5. Vonnegut
4. Kipling
3. Hemingway
2. Wilde
1. Nietzsche

Technically I haven't read any Kurt Vonnegut, but my impression of him is that of someone epic, and that's enough to make the list. I feel like I'm forgetting someone though, but I'll remember that later.

They always told me I could do anything I wanted with my life if I set my mind to it.

I set my mind to a great many things, but the problem was that after dwelling on them I never wanted them; and when I did finally find something worth my arrogant while, I wasn't ready for it.

Turnips taste like sadness. It's a pungant, unshakable undertone in every bite.The aftertaste is the worst bit, the forlorn sensation lingering on after the deed like the forbidden fruit [or root vegetable in this case]

I eat turnips like I read sad poetry, not for enjoyment, but a lesson in despair: a portal to a deeper world of dismal underwritten detachment confined forevermore to bitter depression. But you don't have to boil poetry, and doesn't leave the room filled with musky turnip stank, so I stick to that.
