Thomas Mann
“I know I am talking nonsense, but I’d rather go rambling on, and partly expressing something I find it difficult to express, than to keep on transmitting faultless platitudes.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Denis Johnson
“He was in his fifties. He'd wasted his entire life. Such people were very dear to those of us who'd wasted only a few years.”
Denis Johnson, Jesus’ Son

Denis Johnson
“I note that I've lived longer in the past now, than I can expect to live in the future. I have more to remember than I have to look forward to. Memory fades, not much of the past stays, and I wouldn't mind forgetting more of it.”
Denis Johnson, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden

David Foster Wallace
“I'm so scared of dying without ever being really seen. Can you understand?”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

John  Williams
“You must remember what you are and what you have chosen to become, and the significance of what you are doing. There are wars and defeats and victories of the human race that are not military and that are not recorded in the annals of history. Remember that while you're trying to decide what to do.”
John Williams, Stoner
