A screaming comes across the sky...Happy birthday Gravity‘s Rainbow!!The 28th of February in 1973 this big book was first published ❤️ #thomaspynchon
the world as it was could never be more than a fraction of the world, for the real also consisted of what could have happened but didn‘t, that one road was no better or worse than any other road, but the torment of being alive in a single body was that at any given moment you had to be on one road only, even though you could have been on another, traveling toward an altogether different place.

He thought that it was loneliness which he was trying to escape and not himself. But the street ran on: catlike,one place was the same as another to him. But in none of them could he be quiet. But the street ran on in its moods and phases,always empty: he might have seen himself as in numberless avatars,in silence,doomed with motion,driven by the courage of flagged and spurred despair;by the despair of courage whose opportunities had to be flagged
my reading during this end of the year...an incredible history of XX century through its music...with the sound of pink floyd's lp, the endless river ❤...
first book under the christmast tree...with some bottles of gin, of course ❤ ...
I am dying now, but i still have many things to say. I used to be at peace with myself. Quiet and at peace. But it all blew up unexpectedly. That wizened youth is to blame. I was at peace...
"It is of men, and of them only, that one should alway be frightened."...what a book...desecrating, nihilistic and so full of pain...amazing.
the most seriois outbreak on the planet earth is that of the species Homo Sapiens.
This man is just a GENIUS...A marijuana-fueled trip of a detective novel that is just crazy enough to be hilarious but never tiresome, full of pop references...amazing...
The particulars of new places grabbed me and held me, the sweep of new coasts, cold, lovely, dawns. The world was incomprehensibly large, and there was still so much to see. Yes, I got sick sometimes of being an expatriate, always ignorant, on the outside of things, but I didn't feel ready for domestic life, for seeing the same people, (...) each day. I liked surrendering to the onrush, the uncertainty, the serendipity of the road
A dog, a book and amazing quotes..."I touch your mouth, I touch the edge of your mouth with my finger, I am drawing it as if it were something my hand was sketching, as if for the first time your mouth opened a little, and all I have to do is close my eyes to erase it and start all over again (...), and which by some chance that I do not seek to understand coincides exactly with your mouth which smiles beneath the one my hand is sketching on you."
So then, in a pleading tone, he whispers: why did you make me? i never wanted to be made...
For propaganda, of course. It's all in your own book. How can we persuade others to be good, without evil we can point to? #vollmann #europecentral
