“I come to it like a supplicant, though, with no insults, and yet am invariably turned away like the dog I am. “Fiction,” I say, “I need your help. I need to communicate sensations of paranoia in a written dream about surveillance culture, sexual frustration, pornographic indulgence, capitalism/exploitation, and cheap wordplay. Help me do this, Fiction.”

“The sadness of the world has different ways of getting to people, but it seems to succeed almost every time.” Louis-Ferdinand Celine (via therealvagabondking)

“The best way to find out things, if you come to think of it, is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun; bang it goes, and everything takes flight and runs for shelter. But if you sit quite still and pretend not to be looking, all the little facts will come and peck round your feet, situations will venture forth from thickets and intentions will creep out and sun themselves on a stone; and if you are very patient, you will see and understand a great deal more than a man with a gun.” Elspeth Huxley (via criminalwisdom)
