Zitat des Tages von Nick Tosches:
As a young man, I felt a need to communicate with somebody or something, but it seemed in my own particular environment that that wasn't an option. On the other hand, I probably lacked the courage to do so, even if it was an option.
Life is a racket. Writing is a racket. Sincerity is a racket. Everything's a racket.
When I was young, I kept trying to read 'Moby-Dick', and I couldn't get that far into it. And I kept thinking, 'Well, man, if I can't read the great American novel, I could never be a writer.' And this bothered me a great deal.
Mortality applies to every aspect of life. The fear of death is the driving fear of life.
