Infinite Jest-isms

Ughhhh Infinite Jest was SO amazing today! I have to share with you some of my favorite lines:

-"If..you ever chance to spend a little time around a Substance-recovery halfway facility... you will acquire many exotic new facts."

• "That certain persons simply will not like you no matter what you do."
• "That no matter how smart you thought you were, you are actually way less smart than that."
• "That you do not have to like a person in order to learn from him/her/it."
• "That loneliness is not a function of solitude."
• "That sometimes human beings have to just sit in one place and, like, hurt."
• "That you will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do."
• "That there is such a thing as raw, unalloyed, agendaless kindness."
• "That it is possible to fall asleep during an anxiety attack."
• "That most Substance-addicted people are also addicted to thinking, meaning they have a compulsive and unhealthy relationship with their own thinking."
• "That no single, individual moment is in and of itself unendurable."
• "That if you do something nice for somebody, in secret, anonymously, without letting the person you did it for know it was you or anybody else know what it was you did or in any way or form trying to get credit for it, it's almost its own form of intoxicating buzz."
• "That there may not be angels, but there are people who might as well be angels."
• "That God might regard the issue of whether you believe there's a God or not as fairly low on his/her/its list of thing s/he/it's interested in re you."

Just.... wow.
