Mark Z. Danielewski
Come morning I found the day as I have found every other day--without relief or explanation.

One forgets that one is one. I must try to remember this.
Mark Z. Danielewski
I think that's what finally stopped me. I slid right to the edge. My legs were hanging over. And I could feel it too. I don't know how. There was no wind, no sound, no change of temperature. There was just this terrible emptiness reaching up for me.

I'm not independently wealthy.
Mark Z. Danielewski
I will walk heavy, and I will walk strange.
