men argument adverbs
Surely: the adverb of a man without an argument.
hurt pain bigs
No pain is too small if it hurts, but any pain is too big if it's cherished.
giving-up mean two
Irony is the hardest addiction of all. Forget heroin. Just try giving up irony, the deep-down need to mean two things at once, to be in two places at once, not to be there for the catastrophe of a fixed meaning.
believe people dying
It seems people spend the majority of their lives believing they're dying, with the only consolation being that at one point they get to be right.
reading hero intelligent
Proust is a hero of mine. I read 'A la recherche' in one go, and I'm a very slow reader. It had an astonishing impact, reading it on my own and being my main company. I think Proust is the most intelligent person to ever have written a novel.
people way detachment
Detachment is what interests me, seeing how people couldn't have been any other way, how they were the product of forces that they had no control over.
