Jorge Luis Borges
“Fame is a form - perhaps the worst form - of incomprehension.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Fictions/Ficciones
tags: fame

T.S. Eliot
“The dove descending breaks the air
With flame of incandescent terror
Of which the tongues declare
The one discharge from sin and error.
The only hope, or else despair
Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre-
To be redeemed from fire by fire.

Who then devised the torment? Love.
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.”
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Daniel   Barnett
“Sometimes a person can have a lot of good things but not the right thing, or at least not enough of it. Sometimes passion is like falling in love alone.”
Daniel Barnett, Poor Things

Arundhati Roy
“This was the trouble with families. Like invidious doctors, they knew just where it hurt.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Steve Erickson
“I don't find perfection especially interesting. Art is not all about refinement and formal accomplishment. It is about passion and imagination and courage and these things that I didn't understand when I was kid being taught the rules. I realized that a novel could be. . .art could be. . . what I wanted to make it if I could pull it off.”
Steve Erickson
