“When the sun was rising I doubted its value, as it set I lamented its loss.”
Evan Dara, The Easy Chain

Joseph McElroy
“For hear us falling. Toward the horizon albeit oblique, for we imagine it isn’t our natural state. We are some power to be here and to have changed toward life even to think distinct from these angels lately to be heard speculating in us as if they were learning to hope. We deserve to know what is in us.”
Joseph McElroy

László Krasznahorkai
“as he noticed the feeble ticking of his watch, he suddenly realized that he had been escaping all his life, that life had been a constant escape, escape from meaninglessness into music, from music to guilt, from guilt and self-punishment into pure ratiocination, and finally escape from that too, that it was retreat after retreat, as if his guardian angel had, in his own peculiar fashion, been steering him to the antithesis of retreat, to an almost simple-minded acceptance of things as they were, at which point he understood that there was nothing to be understood, that if there was reason in the world it far transcended his own, and that therefore it was enough to notice and observe that which he actually possessed.”
László Krasznahorkai, The Melancholy of Resistance

Joseph McElroy
“I have in my head things I may not have exactly seen, just as you who read this have me.”
Joseph McElroy, Lookout Cartridge

Mircea Cărtărescu
“Perhaps all we want from reading is to return to that age when we could hold a book and cry, to that time between childhood and adolescence, the sweetest era of our lives.”
Mircea Cărtărescu, Solenoid
