More quotes by Don DeLillo
The less there was to see, the harder he looked, the more he saw. (Point Omega)
Don DeLillo
Ask yourself this question. Do we have to be humans forever? Consciousness is exhausted. Back now to inorganic matter. This is what we want. We want to be stones in a field.
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
To be a tourist is to escape accountability. Errors and failings don't cling to you the way they do back home. You're able to drift across continents and languages, suspending the operation of sound thought. Tourism is the march of stupidity.
Don DeLillo
I am ashamed every day, and more ashamed the next.
Don DeLillo

Don DeLillo
I've come to think of Europe as a hardcover book, America as the paperback version.
Don DeLillo
First you look for discipline and control. You want to exercise your will, bend the language your way, bend the world your way. You want to control the flow of impulses, images, words, faces, ideas. But there's a higher place, a secret aspiration. You want to let go. You want to lose yourself in language, become a carrier or messenger.
Don DeLillo
My attitudes aren't directed toward characters at all. I don't feel sympathetic toward some characters, unsympathetic toward others. I don't love some characters, feel contempt for others. They have attitudes I don't.
Don DeLillo
There are two categories of writers, it could be said: The author who is just a voice, and the one who is also creating a picture. I belong to the latter, because I have an acute visual sense.
Don DeLillo
Mirrors and images. Or sex and love. These are two separate systems that we miserably try to link.
Don DeLillo
Fame and secrecy are the high and low ends of the same fascination.
Don DeLillo
holes are interesting. there are books about holes.
