Two adjacent items from a notebook I kept in 1978:
"Runaway thought, I wanted to write it; instead, I write that it has run away"
Blaise Pascal, quoted by Roland Barthes, in Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes
"He was a guy who talked with commas, like a heavy novel. Over the phone anyway."
Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye
