While you still can, have fun, play, For the years like water run away, The river glides, the hour moves on, And are irrevocably gone.

Whatever the misery, he could not regain contentment with a world which, once doubted, became absurd.

Sinclair Lewis, Babbitt

"The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension; seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space." ~Italo Calvino

"Sometimes the spoken word flickers hither and thither amongst us, shedding a brief light but little warmth to the soul that lies freezing in a torrid world."

Franz Ferdinand | The Universe Expanded

[itwasabrightcolddayinapril]

Your reading is no longer solitary: you think of the Other Reader, who, at this same moment, is also opening the book; and there, the novel to be read is superimposed by a possible novel to be lived, the continuation of your story with her, or better still, the beginning of a possible story.
