Roberto Bolano Quotes
And No One Moans: There Is No Anguish. Only Our Nocturnal Silence When We Crawl On All Fours Toward The Fires That Someone Has Lit For Us At A Mysterious Hour And With Incomprehensible Finality. We're Guided By Fate, Though We've Left Nothing To Chance. A Writer Must Resemble A Censor, Our Elders Told Us, And We've Followed That Marvelous Thought To Its Penultimate Consequence. A Writer Must Resemble A Newspaper Columnist. A Writer Must Resemble A Dwarf And MUST Survive. If We Didn't Have To Read Too, Our Work Would Be A Point Suspended In Nothingness, A Mandala Pared Down To A Minimum Of Meaning, Our Silence, Our Certainty Of Standing With One Foot Dangling On The Far Side Of Death. Fantasies. Fantasies. In Some Lost Fold Of The Past, We Wanted To Be Lions And We're No More Than Castrated Cats. Castrated Cats Wedded To Cats With Slit Throats.
