More quotes by Don DeLillo
I was always younger than anyone around me. One day it began to change.
Don DeLillo
The family was an art ... and the dinner table was the place it found expression.
Don DeLillo
Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us.
Don DeLillo
There's a curious knot that binds novelists and terrorists...Years ago I used to think it was possible for a novelist to alter the inner life of the culture. Now bomb-makers and gunmen have taken that territory. They make raids on human consciousness. What writers used to do before we were all incorporated.
Don DeLillo
It is possible to be homesick for a place even when you are there.
Don DeLillo
The family is the cradle of the world's misinformation.
Don DeLillo
I think that the massive, overarching, interconnected systems of technology tend to make us a little insecure, somewhat pliable, and susceptible to half-beliefs.
Don DeLillo
I've always felt that my subject was living in dangerous times.
Don DeLillo
The greater the scientific advance, the more primitive the fear.
Don DeLillo
A photograph is a universe of dots. The grain, the halide, the little silver things clumped in the emulsion. Once you get inside a dot, you gain access to hidden information, you slide into the smallest event. This is what technology does. It peels back the shadows and redeems the dazed and rumbling past. It makes reality come true.
Don DeLillo
I embarked on my life - I didn't do anything. I don't have an explanation.
Don DeLillo
Writers, some of us, may tend to see things before other people do, things that are right there but aren't noticed in the way that a writer might notice.
Don DeLillo
The difference between the world of pictures and the world of printed matter is extraordinary and hard to define. A picture is like the masses: a multitude of impressions. A book on the other hand, with its linear advance of words and characters seems to be connected to individual identity.
Don DeLillo
Facts are lonely things.
Don DeLillo
In the face of technology, everything becomes a little atavistic.
Don DeLillo
Stories are consoling, fiction is one of the consolation prizes for having lived in the world.
Don DeLillo
There are dead stars that still shine because their light is trapped in time. Where do I stand in this light, which does not strictly exist? (155)
Don DeLillo
The force of a death should be enormous but how can you know what kind of man you've killed or who was the braver and stronger if you have to peer through layers of glass that deliver the image but obscure the meaning of the act? War has a conscience or it's ordinary murder.
Don DeLillo
I felt myself getting whiter... What does it mean to become white? How does it feel to see Death in the flesh, come to gather you in?
Don DeLillo
It's healthier to reject certain cautions than fall in line.
Don DeLillo
