“On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

“I think my eyes were knocked open and they don’t close. I sometimes wish I could close them and look away…. But once you’ve seen certain things, you can’t un-see them, and seeing nothing at all is as political an act as seeing something.”
“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
- Arundhati Roy

What is certain is that, living in the closing years of the American century, struggling with his own impulses and appetites, Wallace developed a vision of a society whose pursuit of pleasure was shutting itself off from true feeling and experience. In “Infinite Jest,” he tells Lipsky, “drugs are kind of a metaphor for the sort of addictive continuum that I think has to do with how we as a culture relate to things that are alive.” - Introducing the Hot New Social Network, PhoneBook « Borowitz Report 2010/05/14
