More From Michel Foucault

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

One wouldn't want to say that what makes a good writer is the number of books that the writer wrote because you could write a whole number of bad books. books that don't work, mediocre books, or there's a whole bunch of people in the pulp tradition who have done that. they just wrote... and actually they didn't write a whole bunch of books, they just wrote one book many times.
Book Writing Numbers
There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. with a well-written book i only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. with a poorly written book i read every word.

Praise the name of baseball. the word will set captives free. the word will open the eyes of the blind. the word will raise the dead. have you the word of baseball living inside you? has the word of baseball become part of you? do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. walk into the world and speak of baseball. let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

Isn't it strange how upset people get about a few dozen baseball players taking growth hormones, when we're doing what we're doing to our food animals and feeding them to our children?
