knausgård

sometimes i think, well, i took my shot. and i didn’t do it. but karl ove knausgård did it, so it’s okay. in 100, 200 years we’ll still have his work. it doesn’t matter if i did it, if my life has been one fizzling arc of failure to ignite, as long as it got done. as bill knott says, the fault was mine alone.

J.S.A.’s Recent Updates

Girl on Girl by Sophie Gilbert
"I want all my girlfriends to read this—being Gen X nearly killed us in so many ways. The adults meant to care for us did not do a good job. And here we see the culture war against girls that waged in the background while we tried to grow up."

Aurora by Jakob Böhme
“For the wild nature was not yet overcome, and light and darkness wrestled so long the one with the other, till the sun arose, and with its heat forced this tree, so that it did bear pleasant sweet fruit; that is, till there came the Prince of Light, out of the heart of God, and became man in nature, and wrestled in his human body, in the power of the divine light, in the wild nature.”

“For according to the outward man, we are in this world, and according to the inward man, we are in the inward world.... Since then we are generated out of both worlds, we speak in two languages, and we must be understood also by two languages.”
Jakob Böhme

Mysticism by Simon Critchley
"The introduction of Mysticism promises the book almost as a self-help manual: "Wouldn't you like to have a taste of this intensity? Wouldn't you like to be lifted up and out of yourself into a sheer feeling of aliveness," Critchley offers readers in " Read more of this review »

“We gave each other wedding rings made of ice.”
J.S.A. Lowe, DOE: A Lyric Novella
tags: poetry

“From early on, we loved the broken-hearted,
And knew that home-life wasn't made for us.”
Marina Tsvetaeva

“人烧成了灰,成分就跟磷灰石差不多,并没有什么值得敬畏的,为什么我们要把它当回事?为什么每年头尾都有个年节作为始终,为什么勾搭别人上床之前先得有个告白和压马路的过程?为什么合法同居除了有张证之外,还得邀请亲朋好友来做一个什么用也没有的仪式?因为生死、光阴、离合,都有人赋予它们意义,这玩意看不见摸不着,也不知有什么用,可是你我和一堆化学成分的区别,就在于这一点‘意义’。”
Priest, 默读 [Mo Du] The Light in the Night

“The only thing I have learned from life is to endure it, never to question it, and to burn up the longing generated by this in writing. Where this ideal has come from I have no idea, and as I now see it before me, in black and white, it almost seems perverse.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 1

“John," she said, "does it make every one—unhappy when they study and learn lots of things?" He paused and smiled. "I am afraid it does," he said.”
W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk

“It was not always like this, of course. On occasion it's been worse.”
John Gardner, Grendel
