Memory is a record.
People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that’s why there were all kinds of myself. There weren’t a lot of myself per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that’s all.

"In supposedly disclosing the real stories behind women and booze, the book drives home the very stereotypes and gloom that its contributors are trying to write themselves out of, while missing out on alcohol’s essential delights. After all, the real pleasures of drinking inhabit the space between one’s lips and the glass—the moments before your next sip, when unexpected encounters and revelations can take place."

Betsy Morais attends “a reading for a new book of essays, “Drinking Diaries,” all written by female authors and edited by Leah Odze Epstein and Caren Osten Gerszberg, who started a blog by that name in 2009: http://nyr.kr/VzgQT9 (via newyorker)

"A stranger is shot in the street, you hardly move to help. But if, half an hour before, you spent just ten minutes with the fellow and knew a little about him and his family, you might just jump in front of his killer and try to stop it. Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You can’t act if you don’t know."

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury (via effyeahyoungadultlit)

If someone is going around shooting people in the street, I doubt anyone would be so apathetic as to not move.
