Quotes by David Lipsky

“My ambition is to not embarrass myself--which, if you know me, is a pretty serious ambition.”
― David Lipsky, Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace

6 people liked it

“He had finished and collected the three years of drafts [of Infinite Jest], and finally sat down and typed the whole thing. Wallace didn't really type; he input the giant thing twice, with one finger. "But a really fast finger.”
― David Lipsky
