“Yes. America is burning, and the fire is so big that it obscures reality, so big that we all bought tickets, so big that we enjoy watching, so big that we say, “Fire is all there is, all there ever will be, and so I’ll burn too.” But could we snuff it out? Could we finally see the ashes and the truth that lies in their flakes? Would we want to see it? It doesn’t matter what we want. That’s all that’s mattered so far and look where it got us. Yes. I can pour the first bucket. No fire wants to be put out, but it doesn’t want to burn either. It’s just reacting. Everything and everyone is just reacting constantly. And now I am going act, to operate outside the fire, to be the first wave of a deluge that will end America as we know it. Good riddance.”

“You know that feeling when you suddenly realize that you are alive, that you’ve lived days without noticing that you’re alive, days without realizing that you control the most minute movements of your extremities, days without truly thinking about the impact of every little thing you do, days without living at all, days of merely existing...”

“When you get too involved in the world of ideas, it's as if the truth thinks you've forgotten it and starts to remind you of itself: Suddenly it rains or a fly lands on you, the sky rumbles, the door creaks, a strong smell comes from the garden, everything tells you to get out of the virtual world and return to reality!”

“Back to the 1st Person: I’d even made up art theories about my inability to use it. That I’d chosen film and theater, two artforms built entirely on collisions, that only reach their meanings through collision, because I couldn’t ever believe in the integrity/supremacy of the 1st Person (my own). That in order to write 1st Person narrative there needs to be a fixed self or persona and by refusing to believe in this I was merging with the fragmented reality of the time. But now I think okay, that’s right, there’s no fixed point of self but it exists & by writing you can somehow chart that movement. That maybe 1st Person writing’s just as fragmentary as more a-personal collage, it’s just more serious: bringing change & fragmentation closer, bringing it down to where you really are.”

“Seeing myself from the outside (as I almost always do), I'm unfit for action, flustered when I have to take a step or make a move, tongue-tied when I have to talk to someone, lacking the inner lucidity needed to enjoy things that require mental effort, and without the physical stamina to entertain myself through some merely mechanical labour. It's only natural that I'm this way. A dreamer is expected to be this way. All reality disconcerts me.”
