Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace – David Lipsky

‘It’s more like, if you can think of times in your life what you’ve treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they are valuable as human beings. The ability to do that to ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it’s probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we’re here for is to learn how to do it’ – David Foster Wallace to David Lispky in Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace.
