Jonathan Franzen Quotes

Imagine The State Of Distrust In Which I Move Through The World. Revealing Anything Shameful To Anyone, I Run The Risk Of Exposure, Censure, Mockery. Everyone Should Be Told This About Fame Before They Start Pursuing It: You Will Never Trust Anyone Again. You Will Be A Kind Of Damned Person, Not Only Because You Can't Trust Anyone But, Still Worse, You Must Always Be Considering How Important You Are, How Newsworthy, And This Divides You From Yourself And Poisons Your Soul. It Sucks To Be Well-known, Pip. And Yet Everyone Wants To Be Well-known, It's What The Whole World Is Made Of Now, This Wanting To Be Well-known.
