Rick Moody Quotes

Words Are The Oldest Information Storage And Retrieval System Ever Devised. Words Are Probably Older Than The Cave Paintings In France, Words Have Been Here For Tens Of Thousands Of Years Longer Than Film, Moving Pictures, Video, And Digital Video, And Words Will Likely Be Here After Those Media Too. When The Electromagnetic Pulse Comes In The Wake Of The Nuclear Blast? Those Computers And Digital Video Cameras And Videotape Recorders That Are Not Melted Outright Will Be Plastic And Metal Husks Used To Prop Open Doors. Not So With The Utterances Of Tongues. Words Will Remain, And The Highly Complicated And Idiosyncratic Accounts Assembled From Them Will Provide Us With The Dark News About The Blast. The Written Word Will Remain, Scribbled On Collapsed Highway Overpasses, As A Testament To Love And Rage, As Evidence Of The Wanderers In The Ruin.
