JJ Rousseau on your internet habits

“You too are sensitive and good; I know it to be so, I have seen it; I regret not having been able to believe it earlier; nevertheless, your rank, your style of living are such that nothing makes a lasting impression on you; rather, you are continually confronted with so many new objects that they erase one another, mutually and none of them remains.”

Confessions, Book Ten

“With great freedom comes great responsibility, someone said once, well, it doesn't work the other way around.”
Antoine Wilson, Panorama City

“and so I opened my eyes and I opened my mind and I saw something I never would have noticed on a bicycle unless I was going very, very fast down a very long hill. Because of the speed of the bus and how I was exerting no effort, the telephone wires on the side of the road, sagging between poles, went up and down with the same rhythm as my heartbeat.”
Antoine Wilson, Panorama City

“He’d dethroned the king, married the princess, and taken over the kingdom. Did he really expect me to believe he’d done so ingenuously, blundering forward with a heart full of the best intentions? I think he did. What was more, in that moment at least, he seemed to believe it himself.”
Antoine Wilson, Mouth to Mouth

Duke Haney Hey, Antoine, just saw your comment on my Literary Death Match thing. Yeah, I'm sorry you can't be there, too, but I'm mainly just amazed (as well as flattered) that you remember me. It's been a while since that day at Book Soup, right after "The Interloper" was released. I trust all is well with you.
