David Foster Wallace
“Our attachments are our temple, what we worship, no? What we give ourselves to, what we invest with faith. . . . Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Maurice Sendak
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
Maurice Sendak

Rachel Cusk
“The world is constantly evolving, while the family endeavours to stay the same. Updated, refurbished, modernised, but essentially the same. A house in the landscape, both shelter and prison.”
Rachel Cusk, Aftermath: On Marriage and Separation

Natalia Ginzburg
“E deixamos nossa casa e vamos viver com essa pessoa para sempre; não porque estejamos convencidos de que é a pessoa certa; aliás, não estamos nem um pouco convencidos, continuando sempre suspeitosos de que a verdadeira pessoa certa para nós se esconde quem sabe em que lugar da cidade. Mas não temos vontade de saber onde se esconde; sentimos que agora teríamos bem pouco a dizer-lhe, porque já dizemos tudo a esta pessoa que talvez não seja a certa, mas com quem vivemos: o bem e o mal de nossa vida nós queremos recebê-los dessa pessoa e com ela. Entre nós e essa pessoa às vezes estouram violentos confrontos, que no entanto não conseguem romper aquela paz infinita que há em nós. Depois de muitos anos, só depois de muitos anos, depois que entre nós e essa pessoa se formou uma densa rede de hábitos, de lembranças e violentos contrastes, saberemos enfim que ela era de fato a pessoa certa para nós, que não teríamos suportado outra, que somente a ela podemos pedir tudo o que é necessário ao nosso coração.”
Natalia Ginzburg

To live (as I understand it) is to exist within a conception of time. But
“To live (as I understand it) is to exist within a conception of time.

But to remember is to vacate the very notion of time.

Every memory, no matter how remote its subject, takes place 'Now,' at the moment it's called to the mind.

The more something is recalled, the more the brain has a chance to refine the original experience.

Because every memory is a re-creation, not a playback.”
David Mazzucchelli, Asterios Polyp
