    Annie Proulx
    “NPR faded from the radio in a string of announcements of corporate supporters, replaced by a Christian station that alternated pabulum preaching and punchy music. He switched to shit-kicker airwaves and listened to songs about staying home, going home, being home and the errors of leaving home.”

    Robert Musil
    “When one's married for so long, always walking on four feet and always
    breathing double breaths and thinking every thought twice through and
    the time between the main things is packed double full with minor
    details - then, sometimes, naturally, one yearns like an arrow for one
    whole space thin as air. And you start up in the night, terrified by
    your own breathing, which had just been going along as evenly without
    you. But you don't rise up free - or even really as far as your knees
    - not once. You strike a match. And there's one of you right there,
    wrapped in flesh. Only then is it love.”
    ― Robert Musil, Die Schwärmer
