"First 3 chapters in, feeling hella grim. Thousand years history of old pederastic Roman culture, might be a while before I wrap my head around to pick up the book and read it again.

A friend suggested to skip to chapter 11 right away if I'm not comfortable with all that triggering histories. I might as well tear the book in half!"

David Foster Wallace
“We all have our little solipsistic delusions, ghastly intuitions of utter singularity: that we are the only one in the house who ever fills the ice-cube tray, who unloads the clean dishwasher, who occasionally pees in the shower, whose eyelid twitches on first dates; that only we take casualness terribly seriously; that only we fashion supplication into courtesy; that only we hear the whiny pathos in a dog’s yawn, the timeless sigh in the opening of the hermetically-sealed jar, the splattered laugh in the frying egg, the minor-D lament in the vacuum’s scream; that only we feel the panic at sunset the rookie kindergartner feels at his mother’s retreat. That only we love the only-we. That only we need the only-we. Solipsism binds us together, J.D. knows. That we feel lonely in a crowd; stop not to dwell on what’s brought the crowd into being. That we are, always, faces in a crowd.”
David Foster Wallace, Girl with Curious Hair

Mark Twain
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
