Quotes

Coldplay songs deliver an amorphous, irrefutable interpretation of how being in love is supposed to feel, and people find themselves wanting that feeling for real. They want men to adore them like Lloyd Dobler would, and they want women to think like Aimee Mann, and they expect all their arguments to sound like Sam Malone and Diane Chambers. They think everything will work out perfectly in the end (just like it did for Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones and Nick Hornby's Rob Fleming), and they... Chuck Klosterman
I love the way music inside a car makes you feel invisible; if you plan the stereo at max volume, it's almost like the other people can't see into your vehicle. It tints your windows, somehow. Chuck Klosterman
Chuck Klosterman quote: "It was the kind of love you can only feel toward someone you..."
It was the kind of love you can only feel toward someone you don't actually know. Chuck Klosterman
Chuck Klosterman quote: "It feels so exhausting to be so bad at something I loved so much."

Maybe I don't need a relationship after all, she thought. Maybe thinking about these conversations was just as good as having them. She could sit in her Honda in the dark and experience whatever kind of life she wanted. Sometimes you think, Hey, maybe there's something else out there. But there really isn't.

Here is the easiest way to explain the genius of Johnny Cash: Singing from the perspective of a convicted muderer in the song "Folsom Prison Blues,: Cash is struck by pangs of regret when he sits in his cell and hears a distant train whistle.

He wants coffee. Within the mind of a killer, complex... Chuck Klosterman
I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it's based on is whether it's good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and try to rewrite it. Chuck Klosterman
And it's not "clever lonely" (like Morrissey) or "interesting lonely" (like Radiohead), it's "lonely, lonely" like the way it feels when you’re being hugged by someone and it somehow makes you sadder. Chuck Klosterman
The deeper reality is that I’m not sure if what I do is real. I usually believe that I’m certain about how I feel, but that seems naive. How do we know how we feel?…There is almost certainly a constructed schism between (a) how I feel, and (b) how I think I feel. There’s probably a third level, too—how I want to think I feel.

Chuck Klosterman quote: "Observing someone without context amplifies the experience...."
Observing someone without context amplifies the experience. The more we know, the less we are able to feel. Chuck Klosterman
Chuck Klosterman quote: "This is what being alive feels like, you know? The place..."
This is what being alive feels like, you know? The place doesn't matter. You just live. Chuck Klosterman
