"To take taxis across the Green Line. To light up in a bloody great smile when Israeli jets break the sound barrier. To pretend to be unaffected when guns start firing round the corner. That’s why he went.”
The worn voice began to acquire a certain disregarding impetus. Soon it would fall into monologue, an inner speech that did not need a context or listener.
“To sit there with his beer, chatting with a colleague as the mortars rain down or whatever they do. Absolutely unmoved. I think he lived for such moments. They were the high points of Lebanon, as demonstrations were the high points of Panama when we were there. During the worst of the anti-American demonstrations he’d put on his Union Jack lapel badge and go walking right into it. How I came to hate that badge. He felt he couldn’t be harmed wearing it. And so he sits in someone’s office in Beirut when militiamen are active. To betray no sign of emotion. To chat. What’s the point of getting excited, he liked to say to me. Truly believing there is good sense in this. As if getting excited had something to do with deciding to get excited, making a conscious decision to get excited. They’re out there, hurling grenated, firing rockets. What’s the point of getting excited? What’s the point?"-Delillo, The Names (244)
The long way to say ‘asshole’.

"My hand moved slowly over the words, feeling for breaks between the inlay and marble, not to fault the craftsmen, of course, but only to find the human labor, the individual, in the wholness and beauty of the tomb.
It wasn’t until we were walking back through the garden that I asked our driver what the words represented. They were the ninety-nine names of God."- Delillo, The Names -

"My wife had found her cage with holes and sometimes I envied her. There is a conflict between sun and air: I lived too much in the sun."

High ResolutionYes (Prime) Minister. Jesus Christ. One of the most acerbic, caustic, ice-blooded comedies on the face of God’s damned-ass planet. A clever, prickly, quick-as-hell litany of monumental human complacency and laziness and self-serving blindness. Will scorch the idealism right out of your soppy, pulpy little heart.
