“It was the time of year, the time of day, for a small insistent sadness to pass into the texture of things.  Dusk, silence, iron chill.  Something lonely in the bone.”

—Don DeLillo, from White Noise (Viking, 1985)

“I would like to house my spirit within my body, to nourish my virtue by mildness, and to travel in ether by becoming a void. But I cannot do it yet … And so, being unable to find peace within myself, I made use of the external surroundings to calm my spirit, and being unable to find delight within my heart, I borrowed a landscape to please it. Therefore, strange were my travels.” T’u Lung (T’u Ch’ihshui) translated by Lin Yutang, The Travels of Mingliaotse. Courtesy of Whiskey River. (via gardenofthefareast)
