Thomas Pynchon Quotes

Listen To Me, Defecates-with-Pigeons. Long Before Any Of You Came Here, We Dream'd Of You. All The People, Even Nations Far To The South And The West, Dreamt You Before Ever We Saw You, - We Believ'd That You Came From Some Other World, Or The Sky. You Had Powers And We Respected Them. Yet You Never Dream'd Of Us, And When At Last You Saw Us, Wish'd Only To Destroy Us. Then The Killing Started, - Some Of You, Some Of Us, - But Not Nearly As Many As We'd Been Expecting. You Could Not Be The Giants Of Long Ago, Who Would Simply Have Wip'd Us Away, And For Less. Instead, You Sold Us Your Powers, - Your Rifles, - As If Encouraging Us To Shoot At You, - And So We Did, Tho' Not Hitting As Many Of You, As You Were Expecting. Now You Begin To Believe That We Have Come From Elsewhere, Possessing Powers You Do Not - Those Of Us Who Knew How, Have Fled Into Refuge In Your Dreams, At Last. Tho' We Now Pursue Real Lives No Different At Their Hearts From Yours, We Are Also Your Dreams.
