“I have to choose what I detest - either dreaming which my intelligence hates, or action, which my sensibility loathes; either action, for which I wasn't born, or dreaming, for which no one was born.

― Ivan Goncharov, Oblomov

― Don DeLillo, White Noise

“She was the one, I decided, who would guide me into the vortex of the cliche.”
