Paul Auster Quotes

He Realized That For Ponge There Was No Division Between The Work Of Writing And The Work Of Seeing. For No Word Can Be Written Without First Having Been Seen, And Before It Finds Its Way To The Page It Must First Have Been Part Of The Body, A Physical Presence That One Has Lived With In The Same Way One Lives With One's Heart, One's Stomach, And One's Brain. Memory, Then, Not So Much As The Past Contained Within Us, But As Proof Of Our Life In The Present. If A Man Is To Be Truly Present Among His Surroundings, He Must Be Thinking Not Of Himself, But Of What He Sees. He Might Forget Himself In Order To Be There. And From That Forgetfulness Arises The Power Of Memory.
