  2. Don DeLillo _ Point Omega

  9. Don DeLillo _ Point Omega

    We drove in silence behind a motorboat being towed by a black pickup. I thought of his remarks about matter and being, those long nights on the deck, half smashed, he and I, transcendence, paroxysm, the end of human consciousness. It seemed so much dead echo now.

All the man's grand themes funneled down to local grief, one body, out there somewhere, or not.

  11. Don DeLillo _ Point Omega

    You understand it's not a matter of strategy. I'm not talking about secrets or deceptions. I'm talking about being yourself. If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things the others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself."
