More quotes by Don DeLillo
Everything is barely weeks. Everything is days. We have minutes to live.
Don DeLillo
Technology and violence are interdependent.
Don DeLillo
There came a time in every prolonged effort when he had a moment of near panic, or 'terror in a lonely place', the original semantic content of the word. The lonely place was his own mind.
Don DeLillo
I see contemporary violence as a kind of sardonic response to the promise of consumer fulfilment in America.
Don DeLillo
The world is full of abandoned meanings. In the commonplace I find unexpected themes and intensities.
Don DeLillo
I have only a bare working knowledge of the human brain but it's enough to make me proud to be an American.
Don DeLillo
Pain is just another form of information.
Don DeLillo
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.
Don DeLillo
The dead have a presence.
Don DeLillo
Human existence had to have a deeper source than our own dank fluids. Dank or rank. There had to be a force behind it, a principal being who was and is and ever shall be.
Don DeLillo
The smoke alarm went off in the hallway upstairs, either to let us know the battery had just died or because the house was on fire.
Don DeLillo
Past, present and future are not amenities of language. Time unfolds into the seamsof being. It passes through you, making and shaping.
Don DeLillo
Freud is finished, Einstein's next.
Don DeLillo
The writer is the person who stands outside society, independent of affiliation and independent of influence.
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
Isn't death the boundary we need?
Don DeLillo
Popular culture is inescapable in the U.S. Why not use it?
Don DeLillo
I've never made an outline for any novel that I've written. Never.
Don DeLillo
The power of the dead is that we think they see us all the time. The dead have a presence. Is there a level of energy composed solely of the dead? They are also in the ground, of course, asleep and crumbling. Perhaps we are what they dream.
Don DeLillo
I was never either pro-culture or counter-culture. I was in a kind of middle state.
Don DeLillo
