“ I am seized by two contradictory feelings: there is so much beauty in the world it is incredible that we are ever miserable for a moment; there is so much shit in the world that it is incredible we are ever happy for a moment.
Geoff Dyer as part of a review by Zadie Smith of his new book Otherwise Known As the Human Condition: Selected Essays and Reviews in Harper’s magazine, June 2011. (via ninastotler)
