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
Something is always happening, even on the quietest days and deep into the night, if you stand a while and look.
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
In these night recitations we create a space between things as we felt them at the time and as we speak them now. This is the space reserved for irony, sympathy and fond amusement, the means by which we rescue ourselves from the past.
Don DeLillo
There are times when you want to stop working at faith and just be washed in a blowing wind that tells you everything.
Don DeLillo
I hate my life. I'm at the point where I want to hear about other people's lives. it's like switching from fiction to biography.
Don DeLillo
Stories have no point if they don't absorb our terror.
Don DeLillo
Mirrors and images. Or sex and love. These are two separate systems that we miserably try to link.
Don DeLillo

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
It frequently happens that I begin a novel with just a visual image of something, a vague sense of people in three dimensional space.
Don DeLillo
I'm a novelist, period. An American novelist.
Don DeLillo
It's my contention that each book creates its own structure and its own length. I've written three or four slim books. It may be that the next novel is a big one, but I don't know.
Don DeLillo
The term itself--my life--is a desperate overstatement.
Don DeLillo
Technology and violence are interdependent.
Don DeLillo
I never wanted to change the world. Norman Mailer wanted to, he set himself the task of changing the consciousness of our age. And I think he came pretty close, in the 1960s, to actually managing to do it. But me? No, no, I never wanted anything like that. I'm not Maileresque.
Don DeLillo
That's why people take vacations. No to relax or find excitement or see new places. To escape the death that exists in routine things.
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
