Tim Kreider
“The Soul Toupee is that thing about ourselves we are most deeply embarrassed by and like to think we have cunningly concealed from the world, but which is, in fact, pitifully obvious to everybody who knows us.”
Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing

“The police, finding a corpse with twenty-eight stab wounds in a bathtub, suspected foul play.”
Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing

Tim Kreider
“What someone’s lies reveal about them (aspirations to being an accomplished writer, fantasies of an exotic history and a cosmopolitan family) are always sadder than the fact of the lies themselves. These inventions illuminate the negative spaces of someone’s self-image, their vanity and insecurities and most childish wishes, as we can infer from warped starlight the presence of a far vaster mass of dark matter.”
Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing

Tim Kreider
“What dooms our best efforts to cultivate empathy and compassion is always, of course, other people.”
Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing

Tim Kreider
“One reason we rush so quickly to the vulgar satisfactions of judgment, and love to revel in our righteous outrage, is that it spares us from the impotent pain of empathy, and the harder, messier work of understanding.”
Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing
