Chuck Klosterman
“But-when you really think about it-that emotional support only applies to the experience of living in public. We don't have ways to quantify ideas like "amazing" or "successful" or "lovable" without the feedback of an audience. Nobody sits by himself in an empty room and thinks "I'm amazing." It's impossible to imagine how that would work. But being "amazing" is supposed to be what life is about. As a result, the windows of time people spend by themselves become these meaningless experiences that don't really count. It's filler. They're deleted scenes.”
Chuck Klosterman, The Visible Man

Chuck Klosterman
“I care about strangers when they're abstractions, but I feel almost nothing when they're literally in front of me.”
Chuck Klosterman, I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling With Villains
