Don’t you see yourself in every picture you love? You feel a radiance wash through you. It’s something you can’t analyze or speak about clearly. What are you doing at that moment? You’re looking at a picture on a wall. That’s all. But it makes you feel alive in the world. It tells you yes, you’re here. And yes, you have a range of being that’s deeper and sweeter than you knew.
~Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis

Someone has been looking at too many Dan Stevens pictures 😉.
No, seriously – a lovely quote. And it’s true – an evocative painting, a picture of the movie boyfriend, and the joy of living can hit you like lightning.

I should have used one of those fangirl pics of an art gallery with Dan Stevens on the wall 😀
I would consider this my favorite quote, out of all the quotes that I love. I originally ran across it while reading ‘Cosmopolis’ b/c Robert Pattinson had signed on to do the movie. it was…interesting. definitely one of those books that leaves you thinking “wtf did I just read?” but parts of it stay with you long after you read it.
