The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."
Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

March 24, 2010

I want to right write all over the page with feverish speed and intensity, like how I imagine Beethoven to have written his music. I wish I wouldn't hesitate too much lest I misspell or write crookedly. I wish this ink were infinite and time irrelevant to the clock. I wish my hand would never fail this pen. I wish this pen would never fail you--my reader.

It's so funny I misspelled "write" the first time I wrote this. Perhaps I wished to write right.
