  3. Presuming that there is such a thing as “progress” when it comes to music, and that music is “better” now than it used to be, is typical of the high self-regard of those who live in the present. It is a myth. Creativity doesn’t improve.

    David Byrne

  7. Real obsession is a thrum in your head that won’t go away no matter how hard you try to banish it. It’s a well you fall down with no hope of climbing out. It’s an illness that feels terminal. Obsession, real obsession, is not how you feel about labradoodles or cool ranch Doritos or even something truly great, real obsession has tendons and guts and consequences.

    This new usage wants to steal the stakes of real obsession and apply those stakes to something consumed. As a dedicated obsessive I resent this.

    Claire Dederer, Monsters

  12. "There’s a fine line between thinking about somebody and thinking about not thinking about somebody, but I have the patience and the self-control to walk that line for hours - days, if I have to."
