""But how can one avoid telling a story ex post facto? Can nothing ever be described as it really was, reconstituted in its anonymous actuality? Will no one ever be able to reproduce the incoherence of the living moment at its moment of birth? Born as we are out of chaos, why can we never establish contact with it? No sooner do we look at it than order, pattern, shape is born under our eyes."" Mar 29, 2015 10:17AM

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Jack Kerouac
“The page is long, blank, and full of truth. When I am through with it, it shall probably be long, full, and empty with words.”
Jack Kerouac, Atop an Underwood: Early Stories and Other Writings

Samuel R. Delany
“It is not that I have no past. Rather, it continually fragments on the terrible and vivid ephemera of now.”
Samuel R. Delany, Dhalgren

Samuel R. Delany
“What I write [. . .] doesn't seem to be . . . true. I mean I can model so little of what it's about. Life is a very terrible thing, mostly, with points of wonder and beauty. Most of what makes it terrible, though, is simply that there's so much of it, blaring in through the five senses. In my loft, alone, in the middle of the night, it comes blaring in. So I work at culling enough from it to construct moments of order.”
Samuel R. Delaney

Samuel R. Delany
“Babes, I am so bored here that I don't think, since I've come, I've ever been more than three minutes away from some really astonishing act of violence.”
Samuel R. Delany, Dhalgren
