SO GOOD QUOTES

David Foster Wallace: …and I felt stuck. And it’s not like I felt stuck because I drank, okay? It was like I felt my life was over at 28, and I felt really bad. I did not want to feel that, and so I did all sorts of stuff. I would drink real heavy, I would fuck strangers. Sometimes I would not drink at all, not drink at all for two weeks, but instead, I would run 10 miles every morning in a desperate, like a very American ‘I will fix this somehow by taking radical actions’ sorta thing.

David Lipsky: And here you are promoting this acclaimed book. That’s not bad.

David Foster Wallace: [long sigh] David, this is nice. This is not real.
