Quotes by Greg Carlisle (?)

“Anything that inspires addiction or obsession - substances, entertainment, beauty, secrecy - is dangerous in that it can lead to isolation, self-absorption, and disconnection, to paralyzed stasis: an immobility that gathers like a force.”
― Greg Carlisle, Elegant Complexity: A Study of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest

tags: addiction, drugs, isolation, obsession

“Wallace’s philosophy in The Pale King (TPK 546) is that we can ride out waves of boredom and oblivion into bliss and conscious (re)discovery, like another pioneer. With respect to Wallace’s fiction, as Don DeLillo said, “There is always another reader to regenerate these words” (DeLillo, Legacy 24).”
― Greg Carlisle, Nature's Nightmare: Analyzing David Foster Wallace's Oblivion
