David Foster Wallace on Life and Work

from The Wall Street Journal

"This is not a matter of virtue -- it's a matter of my choosing to do the work
of somehow altering or getting free of my natural, hard-wired default-setting,
which is to be deeply and literally self-centered, and to see and interpret
everything through this lens of self."
