I love collecting
quotations which open my mind to new thoughts.
Here are two more, one from the detective writer, Michael Dibdin, and
the other from an American author, Vivian Gornick, I know absolutely nothing about. I don’t think I have read her book, which is
apparently an autobiography, but I must have found the quotation tucked away
somewhere. I love the idea of “driving
into a vast darkness” when I am reading a book which reveals a new side of human nature to me.
Michael Dibdin: A Long Finish
“You couldn’t be sure of
doing the right thing. All you could
hope for, perhaps, was to do the wrong thing better, or at least more
interestingly."
Vivian Gornick:
Fierce Attachments
“For Davey, reading was a
laser beam – narrow, focused, intent – driving into a vast darkness.”
