knausgård

sometimes i think, well, i took my shot. and i didn’t do it. but karl ove knausgård did it, so it’s okay. in 100, 200 years we’ll still have his work. it doesn’t matter if i did it, if my life has been one fizzling arc of failure to ignite, as long as it got done. as bill knott says, the fault was mine alone.

J.S.A. Lowe shared a quote
Lee & Elaine (Semiotext by Ann Rower
“I drove in slowly, with my bright red car blaring Whitney Houston. On the radio, in the air. I didn’t love Whitney Houston but she sure could sing Dolly’s old sweet song, “I Will Always Love You.” I wanted to feel that way. I just didn’t know who I could feel that way about.”

“For black people, being around white people is sometimes like taking care of babies you don't like, babies who throw up on you again and again, but whom you cannot punish, because they're babies.”

[stares into middle distance] i’d feel a lot better if i had some crab cakes right about now
J.S.A. Lowe is 78% done with The Hands of the Emperor: my god this book is weird. kj charles is right, it really disintegrates in the back half. goddard is way too identified with her pov character and every single scene right now is about how modest and brilliant and morally superior he is, dressing down racist royalty and/or being underappreciated by his terrible family.

“We gave each other wedding rings made of ice.”
J.S.A. Lowe, DOE: A Lyric Novella
tags: poetry

“From early on, we loved the broken-hearted,
And knew that home-life wasn't made for us.”
Marina Tsvetaeva

“人烧成了灰,成分就跟磷灰石差不多,并没有什么值得敬畏的,为什么我们要把它当回事?为什么每年头尾都有个年节作为始终,为什么勾搭别人上床之前先得有个告白和压马路的过程?为什么合法同居除了有张证之外,还得邀请亲朋好友来做一个什么用也没有的仪式?因为生死、光阴、离合,都有人赋予它们意义,这玩意看不见摸不着,也不知有什么用,可是你我和一堆化学成分的区别,就在于这一点‘意义’。”
Priest, 默读 [Mo Du] The Light in the Night

“The only thing I have learned from life is to endure it, never to question it, and to burn up the longing generated by this in writing. Where this ideal has come from I have no idea, and as I now see it before me, in black and white, it almost seems perverse.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 1

“John," she said, "does it make every one—unhappy when they study and learn lots of things?" He paused and smiled. "I am afraid it does," he said.”
W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk

“It was not always like this, of course. On occasion it's been worse.”
John Gardner, Grendel
