“We're finite creatures, doomed to never get a fraction of what wisdom it would take to deal with infinity. My book has a lot to do with the unbelievable power and beauty of that almost unattainable freedom. Since none of us really gets to know it, we don't know what extremely powerful dangers might lurk in it.” BookPowerfulDangerUnbelievable Author:Nick Tosches
“How do I start writing a book? I sit there, I come up with an opening line, and then I go little by little. I'll wonder, Well, what's coming? And that goes right through to the very end. For over a dozen years now, I've had a recurring dream where I'm reading a book and the pages are blank, but as I read, the words come to exist as fast as my eyes can move. Strange, strange thing.” WritingBookDreamEyeMovingReadingWonderStrangeWriting A Book Author:Nick Tosches
“They say nobody has the attention span to read great books early in life. If I start to read something good, I'll look and it's 86 pages already. Attention span. What are they talking about? If it's good, it'll drag you in.” BookAttentionGreat Book Author:Nick Tosches
“Joe Bonomo has written a fine book: a book not only about a band or times passed, but also about the rare virtue of endurance.” BookVirtueWrittenFineBandEnduranceTime Passes Author:Nick Tosches
“Steiner has here transformed the vaporous conceptions of his life, the vapors of what never was and never will be, from their aeriform state to a fine and ethereal substantiality. My Unwritten Books is a gathering of shades, an elegant and eloquent gathering of mind, feeling, and autumnal passion. (...) And that is the lovely irony of this unique little book. None of these unwritten books should have been written. They are better here, as they are, untamed and errant phantoms of a brilliance whose emanations no one mortal lifetime could ever accommodate in full.” ShouldMindLittlesHas BeensBookStatesFeelingsPassionWrittenFineUniqueShould HaveLifetimeLovelyMortalsIronyConceptionShadeTransformedGatheringElegantBrillianceShould Have BeenPhantomsEloquentAccommodateUnwrittenEtherealVaporUntamed Author:Nick Tosches
