Just because it's on the radio doesn't mean we have to suspend belief in the evidence of our senses.
Don DeLillo
Image
Sometimes I see something so moving I know I’m not supposed to linger. See it and leave. If you stay too long, you wear out the wordless shock. Love it and trust it and leave.
Don DeLillo
Image
Pain is just another form of information.
Don DeLillo
Image
In cities no one notices specific dying. Dying is a quality of the air. It's everywhere and nowhere.
Don DeLillo
Image
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
Image
Everything is barely weeks. Everything is days. We have minutes to live.
Don DeLillo
Image
It is all falling indelibly into the past.
Don DeLillo
Image
Everyone who does not live in Berlin lives in Brooklyn now.
Don DeLillo
Image
Isn't death the boundary we need? Doesn't it give a precious texture to life, a sense of definition? You have to ask yourself whether anything you do in this life would have beauty and meaning without the knowledge you carry of a final line, a border or limit.

It was the time of year, the time of day, for a small insistent sadness to pass into the texture of things. Dusk, silence, iron chill. Something lonely in the bone.
Don DeLillo
Image
The writer is the person who stands outside society, independent of affiliation and independent of influence.
Don DeLillo
Image
Something is always happening, even on the quietest days and deep into the night, if you stand a while and look.
Don DeLillo
Image
Be willing to die for your beliefs, or computer printouts of your beliefs.
Don DeLillo
Image
I used to think it was possible for an artist to alter the inner life of the culture. Now bomb-makers and gunmen have taken that territory.
Don DeLillo
Image
I've come to think of Europe as a hardcover book, America as the paperback version.
Don DeLillo
Image
In fiction, I tend to write fairly realistic dialogue-not always, and it tends to vary from book to book. But in many books, there is a colloquialism of address. The characters will speak in a quite idiosyncratic way sometimes.
Don DeLillo
Image
Men with secrets tend to be drawn to each other, not because they want to share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted.
Don DeLillo
Image
Fear is unnatural. Lightning and thunder are unnatural. Pain, death, reality, these are all unnatural. We can't bear these things as they are. We know too much. So we resort to repression, compromise and disguise. This is how we survive the universe. This is the natural language of the species.

It frequently happens that I begin a novel with just a visual image of something, a vague sense of people in three dimensional space.

Facts are lonely things.
