David Foster Wallace Quotes

The Whole Issue Was Almost Unbelievably Meaningless And Small. He Thought About The Word "meaning" And Tried To Summon Up His Baby's Face Without Looking At The Photo, But All He Could Get Was The Heft Of A Full Diaper And The Plastic Mobile Over His Crib Turning In The Breeze That The Box Fan In The Doorway Made. He Imagined That The Clock's Second Hand Possessed Awareness And Knew That It Was A Second Hand And That Its Job Was To Go Around And Around Inside A Circle Of Numbers Forever At The Same Slow, Unvarying Machinelike Rate, Going No Place It Hadn't Already Been A Million Times Before, And Imagining The Second Hand Was So Awful It Made His Breath Catch In His Throat, And He Looked Quickly Around To See If Any Of The Examiners Near Him Had Heard It Or Were Looking At Him.
