No single, individual moment is in and of itself unendurable.

Not that that mystical stuff's necessarily true: The only thing that's capital-T true is that you get to decide how you're going to try to see it.

Capital T-truth is about life ...

Capital T-truth is about life before death.

What the really great artists ...

What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves. They're entirely themselves, they've got their own vision, they have their own way of fracturing reality, and if it's authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings.

-the soul's certainty that the day will have to be not traversed but sort of climbed, vertically, and then that going to sleep again at the end of it will be like falling, again, off something tall and sheer.

Talent is its own expectation, Jim: you either live up to it or it waves a hankie, receding forever.

Acceptance is usually more a matter of fatigue than anything else.

If you spend enough time reading or writing, you find a voice, but you also find certain tastes. You find certain writers who when they write, it makes your own brain voice like a tuning fork, and you just resonate with them. And when that happens, reading those writers ... becomes a source of unbelievable joy. It's like eating candy for the soul. And I sometimes have a hard time understanding how people who don't have that in their lives make it through the day.

David Foster Wallace 370 quotes

The lives of most people are s...

The lives of most people are small tight pallid and sad, more to be mourned than their deaths. We starve at the banquet: We cannot see that there is a banquet because seeing the banquet requires that we see also ourselves sitting there starving-seeing ourselves clearly, even for a moment, is shattering. We are not dead but asleep, dreaming of ourselves.

Ideally, each piece of art's its own unique object, and its evaluation's always present-tense.

Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved.

Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still.

What teachers and the administration in that era never seemed to see was that the mental work of what they called daydreaming often required more effort and concentration than it would have taken simply to listen in class. Laziness is not the issue. It is just not the work dictated by the administration.

I never, even for a moment, doubted what they'd told me. This is why it is that adults and even parents can, unwittingly, be cruel: they cannot imagine doubt's complete absence. They have forgotten.
