Documenting life as it happened seemed like a way of not experiencing it. As if posing for photographs, or focusing on what to save and call a souvenir, made the present instantly the past. You had to choose one or the other was Everly’s feeling. Try to shape a moment into a memory you could save and look at later, or have the moment as it was happening, but you couldn’t have both.

“Charisma does not originate inside the person called ‘charismatic.’ It comes from the need of others to believe that special people exist.“

Every year, the English department at the university where I did my master's and doctoral degrees has a little "literary festival" where the department invites one or two writers in to give a reading and talk to the creative writing students. Oftentimes, these writers are not exactly first-tier people, no offense to them, so I've usually skipped the events when they're in town. This year, however, the department must have seen a boost in its budget because it's bringing in three excellent people: Paul Yoon, Claire Messud, and Rachel Kushner. I've ordered the most recent book by all three, and I'm going to go to the big public reading and book signing that they're doing. I'm always happy to add to my autographed book collection!

People are born every minute of their lives, and what they are in each of those minutes is what they are completely.

“Plus, Lucien said, a lot of them had come from other social milieus and had tattoos from earlier lives, since people who change affinities are the same kinds of people who are attracted to the permanence of tattoos.” Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
