One is always changing. I don't want to write the same book and I couldn't, because I'm a different person.
Nicole KraussIt's one of those unforgettable moments that happen as a child, when you discover that all along the world has been betraying you.
Nicole KraussTo touch and feel each thing in the world, to know it by sight and by name, and then to know it with your eyes closed so that when something is gone, it can be recognized by the shape of its absence. So that you can continue to possess the lost, because absence is the only constant thing. Because you can get free of everything except the space where things have been.
