James Gleick Quote
Margaret Atwood writes: As with all knowledge, once you knew it, you couldn’t imagine how it was that you hadn’t known it before. Like stage magic, knowledge before you knew it took place before your very eyes, but you were looking elsewhere. Nearing death, John Updike reflects on A life poured into words—apparent waste intended to preserve the thing consumed.
