Edgar Allan Poe
Language can't describe reality. Literature has no stable reference, no real meaning. Each reader's interpretation is equally valid, more important than the author's intention. In fact, nothing in life has meaning. Reality is subjective. Values and truths are subjective. Life itself is a kind of illusion. Blah, blah, blah, let's have another scotch.

There are no arrivals, no destinations; there are only sandbanks and shipwreck; then another boat, another tide.
Jeanette Winterson
