a DFW quote, via Kottke:

"a DFW quote, via Kottke:

“The really important kind of freedom,’ said Wallace, ‘involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day. That is real freedom… The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.’”


via Luke's Commonplace Book
