David Foster Wallace
“So if we think about ourselves with respect to the game, we're thinking about our thinking. And we decided the one thing we couldn't think about was our thinking, because the object has to be Other. We can think only the things that can't think themselves. So if we think ourselves, see for instance conceiving ourselves as thought, we can't ourselves be the object of our thinking.”
David Foster Wallace, The Broom of the System

David Foster Wallace
“In his numb helpless black isolation he he needs the emotional center of his life, the object of his complete adoration, his fianc茅e, more than ever; and yet he knows that it is precisely his state of helpless, in-efficacious isolation- a state he is in through exactly zero fault of his own- that is of necessity driving the lovely woman he adores farther and farther away.”
David Foster Wallace, The Broom of the System
