  1. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    Fuck Edison and his goddamned lightbulb.
    book-quote

  2. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    لم أكن أستطيع التفكير في سواها.تبدأ كل ليلة بالألم نفسه في جسمي،تقطع الأنفاس نفسها،الحاجة الشديدة إلى أن تلمسني مرة أخرى،وقبل أن أدرك ما يحدث،أشعر بالهجوم داخل جلدي،وكأن الأنسجة التي تجعلني متماسكا على وشك الانفجار.كان ذلك هو الحرمان في أكثر أشكاله المفاجئة والمطلقة.كان جسم كيتي جزءا من جسمي،ودون أن يكون بجواري،أشعر بأنني لم أعد أنا.أشعر بأنني مجدوع.

    The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.

  4. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    There were dozens of pictures similar to the one I had found in the Brooklyn Museum; the same forest, the same moon, the same silence. The moon was always full in these works, and it was always the same: small, perfectly round circle in the middle of the canvas, glowing with the palest white light. After I had looked at five or six of them, they gradually began to separate themselves from their surrounds, and I was no long able to see them as moons. They became holes in the canvas, apertures of whiteness looking out onto another work. Blakelock's eye, perhaps. A blank circle suspended in space, gazing down at things that were no longer there."

  5. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    The whole scene had an imaginary quality to it. I knew that it was real, but at the same time it was better than reality, more nearly a projection of what I wanted from reality than anything I had experienced before.

  6. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    Todo lo inanimado se desintegraba, todo lo viviente moría. Cada vez que pensaba en esto notaba latidos en la cabeza al imaginar los furiosos y acelrados movimientos de las moléculas, las incesantes explosiones de la materia, el hirviente caos oculto bajo la superficie de todas las cosas.

    I've made my nothing, and now I've got to live in it.
    book-quote

  8. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    It was all a matter of missed connections, bad timing, blundering in the dark. We were always in the right place at the wrong time, always just missing each other, always just a few inches from figuring the whole thing out. That's what the story boils down to, I think. A series of lost chances. All the pieces were there from the beginning, but no one knew how to put them together.

  9. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    Yo había saltado desde el borde del acantilado y justo cuando estaba a punto de dar contra el fondo, ocurrió un hecho extraordinario: me enteré que había gente que me quería. Que le quieran a uno de ese modo lo cambia todo. No disminuye el terror de la caída, pero te da una nueva perspectiva de lo que significa ese terror. Yo había saltado desde el borde y entonces, en el último instante, algo me cogió en el aire. Ese algo es lo que defino como amor. Es la única cosa que puede detener la vida de un hombre, la única cosa lo bastante poderosa como para invalidar las leyes de la gravedad

    If the world weren't such a beautiful place, we might all turn into cynics
    book-quote

  12. Paul Auster _ Moon Palace

    A here exists only in relation to a there, not the other way around. There's this only because there's that; if we don't look up, we'll never know what's down. Think of it, boy. We find ourselves only by looking what we're not. You can't put your feet on the ground until you've touched the sky.
