“I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it.”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

“To live for the moment: it sounds so right and so beautiful. But the more I want to, the less I understand what it means.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

“I would not like to live in a world without cathedrals. I need their beauty and grandeur. I need their imperious silence. I need it against the witless bellowing of the barracks yard and the witty chatter of the yes-men. I want to hear the rustling of the organ, this deluge of ethereal notes. I need it against the shrill farce of marches.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon
