Don DeLillo Frases famosas

“‎"As pessoas nao vão morrer. Não é esse o credo da nova cultura? As pessoas vão ser absorvidas em fluxos de informações. Não entendo nada disso. Os computadores vão morrer. Já estão morrendo na sua forma atual. Estão praticamente mortos como unidades distintas. Uma caixa, uma tela, um teclado. Eles estão se dissolvendo na textura da vida cotidiana. (…) Até a palavra computador parece retrógrada e burra.”

Don DeLillo livro Cosmopolis

Cosmopolis

“E depois? Você não fica se perguntando? Não apenas o mês que vem. Os anos.

- Depois não tem nada. Não tem depois. O depois era isso. Oito anos atrás eles puseram uma bomba numa das torres. Ninguém perguntou: e depois? Depois foi isso. A hora de ter medo é quando não tem motivo pra ter medo. Agora é tarde demais.”

Don DeLillo Falling Man

Falling Man

“É difícil imaginar esses homens se entristecendo por causa da morte. Átila, o Huno, morreu jovem. Estava ainda na casa dos quarenta. Será que ele se entregou à autocomiseração e à depressão? Era o rei dos hunos, o invasor da Europa, o flagelo de Deus. Gosto de imaginá-lo deitado em sua tenda, envolto em peles de animais, como numa superprodução internacional, dizendo coisas corajosas e cruéis a seus auxiliares e dependentes. Nenhum amolecimento de espírito. Nenhuma consciência da ironia da existência humana, do fato de que somos a mais elevada forma de vida na Terra, e no entanto somos indizivelmente tristes porque sabemos o que nenhum outro animal sabe: que um dia vamos morrer.”

“The prospect of a humane war may be hideous and all the other names you can think of, but it's still a prospect. And as an alternative to all the other things that could happen in the event of war, it's relatively acceptable.”

Don DeLillo livro End Zone

Contexto: Of course the humanistic mind crumbles at the whole idea. It's the most hideous thing in the world to these people that such ideas even have to be mentioned. But the thing won't go away. The thing is here and you have to face it. The prospect of a humane war may be hideous and all the other names you can think of, but it's still a prospect. And as an alternative to all the other things that could happen in the event of war, it's relatively acceptable.

“I think what'll happen in the not-too-distant future is that we'll have humane wars.”

Fonte: End Zone (1972), Ch. 16
Contexto: I think what'll happen in the not-too-distant future is that we'll have humane wars. Each side agrees to use clean bombs. And each side agrees to limit the amount of megatons he uses. In other words, we'll get together with them beforehand and there'll be an agreement that if the issue can't be settled, whatever the issue might be, then let's make sure we keep our war as relatively clean as possible.

“If I were a writer, how I would enjoy being told the novel is dead. How liberating to work in the margins, outside a central perception. You are the ghoul of literature. Lovely.”
