The world is shrinking into a kind of technological funnel. I think people are drawn into their technological devices, and this becomes a kind of subjective universe, into which much of the rest of the world simply does not enter.

More quotes by Don DeLillo
When you try to unravel something you've written, you belittle it in a way. It was created as a mystery.
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 less there was to see, the harder he looked, the more he saw. (Point Omega)
Don DeLillo
I marched and I protested against the war in Vietnam, along with many, many thousands of others. But I never quite understood the bombs that were placed in science labs or office buildings.
Don DeLillo
I was never either pro-culture or counter-culture. I was in a kind of middle state.
Don DeLillo
Naturally a direct comparison of terrorist and novelist is complete nonsense. But there was once a time when the novelist also had some influence on how his contemporaries thought, the way they saw the world, the way they lived.
Don DeLillo
What did it mean, the first time, a thinking creature looked deeply into another's eyes? Did it take a hundred thousand years before this happened or it was the first thing they did, transcendingly, the thing that made them higher, made them modern, the gaze that demonstrates we are lonely in our souls?
Don DeLillo
Ask yourself this question. Do we have to be humans forever? Consciousness is exhausted. Back now to inorganic matter. This is what we want. We want to be stones in a field.
Don DeLillo
...Because what's the meaning of doing dishes if you're not driven by something beyond necessity.
Don DeLillo
In the face of technology, everything becomes a little atavistic.
Don DeLillo
My attitudes aren't directed toward characters at all. I don't feel sympathetic toward some characters, unsympathetic toward others. I don't love some characters, feel contempt for others. They have attitudes I don't.
Don DeLillo
Too much has been forgotten in the name of memory.
Don DeLillo
A Catholic is raised with the idea that he will die any minute now and if he doesn't live his life in a certain way, this death is an introduction to an eternity of pain.
Don DeLillo
Before pop art, there was such a thing as bad taste. Now there's kitsch, schlock, camp, and porn.
Don DeLillo
I think if you maintain a force in the world that comes into people's sleep, you are exercising a meaningful power.
Don DeLillo
I like the construction of sentences and the juxtaposition of words-not just how they sound or what they mean, but even what they look like.
Don DeLillo
There are two categories of writers, it could be said: The author who is just a voice, and the one who is also creating a picture. I belong to the latter, because I have an acute visual sense.
Don DeLillo
I've always felt that my subject was living in dangerous times.
Don DeLillo
Everything that goes on in your whole life is a result of molecules rushing around somewhere in your brain.
Don DeLillo
How many beginnings before you see the lies in your excitement?
Don DeLillo
