#don delillo

holy shit half life reference?! G-Man? wow. don DeLillo was ahead of the times .... .

"When my mother died I felt expanded, slowly, durably over time. I felt suffused with her truth, spread through, as with water, color or light. I thought she'd entered the deepest place I could provide, the animating entity, the thing, if anything, that will survive my own last breath, and she makes me larger, she amplifies my sense of what it is to be human. She is part of me now, total and consoling. And it is not a sadness to acknowledge that she had to die before I could know her fully. It is only a statement of the power of what comes after."

It was important for him to believe that he’d spent his life among people who kept missing the point.
