And what's the point of waking up in the morning if you don't try to match the enormousness of the known forces in the world with something powerful in your own life?
Don DeLillo
Image
There's a connection between the advances that are made in technology and the sense of primitive fear people develop in response to it.
Don DeLillo

The greater the scientific advance, the more primitive the fear.
Don DeLillo
Image
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

Off-camera lives are unverifiable.
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
Pain is just another form of information.
Don DeLillo
Image
What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation.
Don DeLillo
Image
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
Image
Technology and violence are interdependent.
Don DeLillo
Image
I don't want to do the type of writing where I recite biography, parentage and education. I want to rise up from the words on the page and do something, hurt someone.

America was and is the immigrant's dream.
