In cities no one notices specific dying. Dying is a quality of the air. It's everywhere and nowhere.
Don DeLillo

Once you've seen the signs about the barn, it becomes impossible to see the barn.
Don DeLillo
Image
Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us.
Don DeLillo
Image
I am ashamed every day, and more ashamed the next.
Don DeLillo
Image
I think literature has lost it's power. Great novels continue to be written, but they are no longer changing the world.
Don DeLillo
Image
Isn't death the boundary we need?

Do people still shoot at presidents? I thought there were more stimulating targets.' (20)
Don DeLillo
