“If you can fall in love again and again… if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical… you’ve got it half licked.”
Henry Miller, who died on this day in 1980, on the measure of a life well lived themarginalian.org/2014/06/2…

“Sometimes a book taken from someone’s house still carries the scent of their house, of what it was like to be in a room with them, and when you first open the book, you’re with them again for a moment.”
From “The Letter” by Caleb Crain in our new issue.

"Right now, in this culture where we are so unbelievably uptight, there is something about Eve Babitz that is extremely attractive. There is a freedom; there is something uninhibited. She said and did what she wanted."—Bret Easton Ellis

“Life, in ‘Ulysses,’ is the experience of the body, from tip to toe, as it wanders through the world,” @mervatim writes. “It is sensation mediated by language, and language refined by sensation.” nyer.cm/CttojGo

I like everything about @simonablat ‘s @blackspringbk
The kind of cozy bookstore that one reads about in printed pages about old New York.
Today I picked up Scoop - Evelyn Waugh, And as I was leaving they were setting up the screen to watch Korean new wave classic Thirst.

“To have a friend who understands and appreciates your work, one who never lets you down but who becomes more devoted, more reverent, as the years go by, that is a rare experience.”
