“But that’s part of being in charge, Jan. Maybe the most important part. You can’t let your people get fucked over. Not if you expect them to follow you.”

This is a remarkable book, and well worth the read. JFC Fuller doesn't just describe Alexander as a general; he covers all of the personas and roles this enigmatic figure assumed. He provides detailed explanations for just about everything Alexander ...more | |

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
― The Catcher in the Rye

“I rested my head on the wall behind me and closed my eyes, wishing my life had a button: Ignore All.”
― Final Approach
― Final Approach
“The words of his various writing instructors and professional mentors over the years came back to him at times like these, and he found a new understanding in their advice: Writing is rewriting. The rough draft is just that. You can’t polish what you haven’t written.
Things that made for a normal life—like a daily routine that followed the sun—took a back seat to times like these, and he exulted in that change because it served as proof that his writing was indeed the most important thing in his life. It wasn’t a conscious choice on his part, like deciding to repaint the bathroom or go buy the groceries, but an overarching reallocation of his existence that was as undeniable as breathing. Day turned into night, breakfast turned into dinner, and the laptop or the writing tablet beckoned even when he was asleep.
He would often awake with a new idea—as if he’d merely been on a break and not unconscious—and he would see the empty seat before the desk not as his station in some pointless assembly line, but as the pilot’s seat in a ship that could go anywhere.”
