RE: David Foster Wallace 2005 Commencement Speech at Kenyon College: This is Water.
i have loved this speech since it became public. i think my favorite line is this:
"Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you."
absolute brilliance.
Such a great line, and so true. Wallace was a true gift.
seriously. what a fucking talent he was. his prose was often too dense for me, but i almost always enjoyed whatever of his i read. such a loss for literature.
