“God seems to have a kind of laid-back management style I’m not crazy about.”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

“That's what art is: escaping everyday normality, which wants to eat you alive.”
― Stefano Benni, Margherita Dolce Vita

“There's good self-consciousness, and then there's toxic, paralyzing, raped-by-psychic-Bedouins self-consciousness.”
― David Foster Wallace
