"People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves."
— Chuck Palahniuk, HauntedElliott Erwitt
Jacksonville, Florida, 1968
From Elliott Erwitt: Personal Exposures
"As far as I can recall, the initial shiver of inspiration was somehow prompted by a newspaper story about an ape in the Jardin des Plantes who, after months of coaxing by a scientist, produced the first drawing ever charcoaled by an animal: this sketch showed the bars of the poor creature’s cage."
— Vladimir Nabokov, from “On a Book Entitled Lolita”*taken again from liquid night
