Paul Auster Quotes

When A Man Walks Into A Room And You Shake Hands With Him, You Do Not Feel That You Are Shaking Hands With Him. Death Changes That. This Is The Body Of X, Not This Is X. The Syntax Is Entirely Different. Now We Are Talking About Two Things Instead Of One, Implying That The Man Continues To Exist, But Only As An Idea, A Cluster Of Images And Memories In The Minds Of The Other People. As For The Body, It Is No More Than Flesh And Bones, A Heap Of Pure Matter.
