More quotes by Mark Z. Danielewski
Tom gets by, Navidson succeeds. Tom just wants to be, Navidson must become.

House of Leaves is certainly about the unsettling nature of fear - and it was my aim to address that - but its also about recovering from fear.
Mark Z. Danielewski
At the breakfast table we are footnoting everything that we read. We don't recognise it as such but we encounter an article in the newspaper and then suddenly we recall that a friend had a certain comment on that particular story, a certain bit of news that we saw on the television applies to that and we immediately assemble an idea of a story.
Mark Z. Danielewski
Anger is one way to respond to fear. I say one way because responses are categorically multiple.
Mark Z. Danielewski
I still get nightmares. In fact, I get them so often I should be used to them by now. I'm not. No one ever really gets used to nightmares.
