“The thinness of contemporary life. I can poke my finger through it.”
― Don DeLillo, Zero K

“People getting older become more fond of objects. I think this is true. Particular things. A leather-bound book, a piece of furniture, a photograph, a painting, the frame that holds the painting. These things make the past seem permanent. A baseball signed by a famous player, long dead. A simple coffee mug. Things we trust. They tell an important story. A person’s life, all those who entered and left, there’s a depth, a richness.”
― Don DeLillo, Zero K

“I feel artificially myself. I'm someone who's supposed to be me.”
― Don DeLillo, Zero K

“The moment is there to be forgotten. This seems the ultimate point. It's a moment never to be thought of except when it's in the process of unfolding. Maybe this is why it doesn't seem peculiar. It is only me. I don't think about it. I simply live within it and then leave it behind.”
― Don DeLillo, Zero K
