"But the present is a riptide. You’re only human; the spirit of the age will ragdoll you. You will suffer. Become tired. The absolute present exhausts your curiosity first, then the rest of you. No wonder you can’t open a book. Your curiosity is out like a light before noon."
"I read out of strict obedience to curiosity, the desire to know what these words in this sequence might hold."
