Sitting there, watching my sister, I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got itout, the story was really all that mattered.

Sometimes...
I don't tell people about their wrongdoings.
I tell them about the gain of doing otherwise.

Raccontare è quasi sempre un regalo, compreso quando porta e inietta veleno il racconto è anche un vincolo e un concedere fiducia e rara è la fiducia che prima o poi non si tradisca, raro il vincolo che non si aggrovigli o non si annodi, e perciò finisca per stringere e si debba tirare di coltello e di lama per reciderlo.

Javier Marías

Go to quote


A writer out of loneliness is trying to communicate like a distant star sending signals. He isn't telling, or teaching, or ordering. Rather, he seeks to establish a relationship with meaning, of feeling, of observing. We are lonesome animals. We spend all our live trying to be less lonesome. And one of our ancient methods is to tell a story, begging the listener to say, and to feel, "Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it. You're not as alone as you thought." To finish is sadness to a writer, a little death. He puts the last word down and it is done. But it isn't really done. The story goes on and leaves the writer behind, for no story is ever done.

John Steinbeck
