Primo Levi
“Perfection belongs to narrated events, not to those we live.”
Primo Levi, The Periodic Table

Tony Kushner

Tony Kushner, Angels in America

Lao Tzu
“If we could renounce our benevolence and discard our righteousness, the people would again become filial and kindly.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Tony Kushner
“My whole life has conspired to bring me to this place, and I can’t despise my whole life.”
Tony Kushner, Millennium Approaches

Ben Fountain
“Without ever exactly putting his mind to it, he's come to believe that loss is the standard trajectory. Something new appears in the world-a baby, say, or a car or a house, or an individual shows some special talent-with luck and huge expenditures of soul and effort you might keep the project stoked for a while, but eventually, ultimately, its going down. This is a truth so brutally self-evident that he can't fathom why it's not more widely percieved, hence his contempt for the usual public shock and outrage when a particular situation goes to hell. The war is fucked? Well, duh. Nine-eleven? Slow train coming. They hate our freedoms? Yo, they hate our actual guts! Billy suspects his fellow Americans secretly know better, but something in the land is stuck on teenage drama, on extravagant theatrics of ravaged innocence and soothing mud wallows of self-justifying pity.”
Ben Fountain, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
