More quotes by Don DeLillo
There is a set of balances and rhythms to a novel that we can't experience in real life. So I think there is a sense in which fiction can rescue history from confusion.
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
Bloomberg weighed three hundred pounds. This itself was historical. I revered his weight. It was an affirmation of humanity's reckless potential it went beyond legend and returned through mist to the lovely folly of history. To weigh three hundred pounds. What devout vulgarity.
Don DeLillo
If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things that others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself.
Don DeLillo
No sense of the irony of human experience, that we are the highest form of life on earth, and yet ineffably sad because we know what no other animal knows, that we must die.
Don DeLillo
The family was an art ... and the dinner table was the place it found expression.
Don DeLillo
A photograph is a universe of dots. The grain, the halide, the little silver things clumped in the emulsion. Once you get inside a dot, you gain access to hidden information, you slide into the smallest event. This is what technology does. It peels back the shadows and redeems the dazed and rumbling past. It makes reality come true.
Don DeLillo
The less important you are in an office, the more they expect the happy smile.
Don DeLillo
Just because it's on the radio doesn't mean we have to suspend belief in the evidence of our senses.
Don DeLillo
Every advance in knowledge and technique is matched by a new kind of death, a new strain. Death adapts, like a viral agent.
Don DeLillo
I understand there are some men who are only half here. Let's not say men. Let's say people. People who are more or less obscure at times.
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
The world isn't going to be destroyed, but you don't feel safe anymore in your plane or train or office or auditorium.
Don DeLillo
In the face of technology, everything becomes a little atavistic.
Don DeLillo
People who are in power make their arrangements in secret, largely as a way of maintaining and furthering that power.
Don DeLillo
Pain is just another form of information.
Don DeLillo
Never underestimate the power of the State to act out its own massive fantasies.
Don DeLillo
People will always make comparisons.
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
When you try to unravel something you've written, you belittle it in a way. It was created as a mystery.
Don DeLillo
