Thomas Pynchon Quotes

...part of me must have really wanted to believe--like a child hearing, in perfect safety, a tale of horror--that the unconscious would be like any other room, once the light was let in.

I wanted to believe, despite everything my life had been. Can you imagine?

Thomas Pynchon
