You tasted it. Isn't that enough? Of what do you ever get more than a taste? That's all we're given in life, that's all we're given of life. A taste. There is no more.

We leave a stain, we leave a trail, we leave our imprint. Impurity, cruelty, abuse, error, excrement, semen — there’s no other way to be here. Nothing to do with disobedience. Nothing to do with grace or salvation or redemption. It’s in everyone. Indwelling. Inherent. Defining. The stain that is there before its mark.

Philip Roth, The Human Stain

Imagine reading a fictional novel and coming across a person you actually, literally know. I wrote about this in my new IG post.

The only obsession everyone wants: love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.

“Il segreto è stare in quel momento, senza badare al resto e senza avere idea di dove andrai dopo. Perché se riesci a far funzionare un momento, puoi arrivare dappertutto.”

— nell'euforia di una delle loro serate, quando sembravano avere tante cose in comune. Coleman le aveva detto: – Questo non è soltanto sesso, è qualcosa di più, – e in tono reciso lei rispose: – No, non è vero. Hai semplicemente dimenticato cos'è il sesso. Questo è sesso. E basta. Non rovinarlo con la pretesa che sia un'altra cosa.

Philip Roth, La macchia umana

You be greater than your feelings. I don't demand this of you — life does. Otherwise you'll be washed away by feelings. You'll be washed out to sea and never seen again.

Rimane il fatto che, in ogni modo, capire bene la gente non è vivere. Vivere è capirla male, capirla male e male e poi male e, dopo un attento riesame, ancora male. Ecco come sappiamo di essere vivi: sbagliando.
