Joan Didion Quotes About Dreads

• I know something about dread myself, and appreciate the elaborate systems with which some people fill the void, appreciate all the opiates of the people, whether they are as accessible as alcohol and heroin and promiscuity or as hard to come by as faith in God or History.

• Writing fiction is for me a fraught business, an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel, and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.

• Éramos esa generación llamada silenciosa, pero no lo éramos ni, como pensaban algunos, porque compartiéramos el optimismo oficial de la época ni, como pensaban otros, porque temiéramos su represión oficial. Callábamos porque la euforia de la acción social nos parecía a muchos una forma más de huir de lo personal, de enmascarar por un tiempo ese pavor al sinsentido que era el destino del hombre.
