Adam Haslett Quotes

What Do You Fear When You Fear Everything? Time Passing And Not Passing. Death And Life. I Could Say My Lungs Never Filled With Enough Air, No Matter How Many Puffs Of My Inhaler I Took. Or That My Thoughts Moved Too Quickly To Complete, Severed By A Perpetual Vigilance. But Even To Say This Would Abet The Lie That Terror Can Be Described, When Anyone Who's Ever Known It Knows That It Has No Components But Its Instead Everywhere Inside You All The Time, Until You Recognize Yourself Only By The Tensions That String One Minute To The Next. And Yet I Keep Lying, By Describing, Because How Else Can I Avoid This Second, And The One After It? This Being The Condition Itself: The Relentless Need To Escape A Moment That Never Ends.
