1. Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties — all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name’s Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion — these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated.

    David Foster Wallace (via exceptionallyodd) “my name’s Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know” I’m listening to John K. Samson’s new thing and reading through the dfw tag on here and almost started crying at this. Ah. (via valerie2776)
