A great quote from the previously linked to radio documentary on DF. Listen to the audio clip for the full quote. Classic DFW.
“If I show you that I believe we’re both bastards and that there’s no point to anything, and that I was last naive at about age six, then I protect myself from your judgement of the worst possible flaw in me, sentimentality and naivete.” – David Foster Wallace
