"END OF PART 1.
I've been milking this saga. Started way back at 20 pages a day, but I've lapsed. Fits & starts. DQ has been by turns delightful, microcosmic, and tedious. I already feel as though the knight errant himself has given me a new paradigm by which to judge Madness. He's everywhere. Just recently I saw him embodied by a delusional friend under the thrall of mythology (like DQ's books of chivalry.) Gah!" — Sep 14, 2020 08:51AM

"This is some of the best American --no, scratch that-- some of the best poetry I've ever read, period. The gorgeous vernacular, for pages on end, untrammeled, unenjambed.
You won't believe how well-spoken and self-aware even the most common people used to sound back in 1970. Steel workers, switchboard operators. Somewhere along the line our skills as raconteurs took a serious nosedive." — Jul 19, 2020 10:23AM

“It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical will live the relation to another as something alive.”

“There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.”
