Distance Quotes
-
Kafka taught me a lot about the normal and the abnormal, and the distance between them. ... He's out there by himself. You get the jump in the feet when you read certain passages by him. That's the mark of truly great writing. It gives you the jump in the feet.

From a distance, the American political system is a remarkable success. We have accomplished the peaceful transfer of power for more than two hundred years, and that's unmatched by any civilization in human history.

A wrong understanding is interested in precisionism.

Out of pure spite we pretty much always said the opposite of what the other said, no matter what they said, only to mark distance.

Most people are flying to Heathrow because it's a hub, so they can fly on to other places, often long-distance flights. If they can't go on those long-distance flights from Heathrow, they will go to Paris, they will go to Amsterdam, they will go to Frankfurt, because those are viable alternatives.
