“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“We can travel longer, night and day, without losing our spirits than almost any persons we ever met.”

which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written.

—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)

“Turning one’s novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”

“What blessings thy free bounty gives
Let me not cast away;
For God is paid when man receives,
To enjoy is to obey.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
