Denis Johnson
“I make the road. I draw the map. Nothing just happens to me...I'm the one happening.”
Denis Johnson, Already Dead: A California Gothic

Denis Johnson
“You have to see fate as a design, a pattern, and the will as the knife, the blade, the thing slicing through the fabric...”
Denis Johnson, Already Dead: A California Gothic

Mario Vargas Llosa
“Es más fácil imaginar la muerte de una persona que la de cien o mil...Multiplicado, el sufrimiento se vuelve abstracto. No es fácil conmoverse por cosas abstractas.”
Mario Vargas Llosa

Denis Johnson
“Through this feeling of helplessness suddenly burst a piercing nostalgia for the lost world of childhood. The way it came right up against the heart, that world, and against the face. No indoors or outdoors, only everything touching us, and the grown-ups lumbering past overhead like constellations.”
Denis Johnson, Already Dead: A California Gothic

Denis Johnson
“Will you believe me when I tell you there was kindness in his heart? His left hand didn't know what his right hand was doing. It was only that certain important connections had been burned through. If I opened up your head and ran a hot soldering iron around in your brain, I might turn you into someone like that.”
Denis Johnson, Jesus’ Son
