Quotes by Richard Greenberg (?)

“You know, the thing is with people who never talk, the thing is you always suppose they're harbouring some enormous secret. But, just possibly, the secret is, they have absolutely nothing to say.”
― Richard Greenberg, Three Days of Rain

“The best thinking says 'the self' is a fiction (I have a piece about that), yet it's a fiction that we all believe, our most intimate experience. Maybe it's nothing more than our tendency to repeat. Maybe we repeat because when we do, we recognize the behavior and the familiarity is comforting. So the self is just the consolation of our tendencies.”
― Richard Greenberg, Rules for Others to Live By: Comments and Self-Contradictions
