David Foster WallaceI like the fansโ sound at night. Do you? Itโs like somebody big far away goes like: itโsOKitโsOKitโsOKitโsOK, over and over. From very far away.
David Foster Wallace...the sun would leave my sky if I couldn't assume you'd simply come and tell me you were sad.
David Foster WallaceHow promising you are as a Student of the Game is a function of what you can pay attention to without running away. Nets and fences can be mirrors. And between the nets and fences, opponents are also mirrors. This is why the whole thing is scary. This why all opponents are scary and weaker opponents are especially scary. See yourself in your opponents. They will bring you to understand the Game. To accept the fact that the Game is about managed fear. That its object is to send from yourself what you hope will not return.
