David Foster Wallace
289 citations

My whole life I've been a fraud. I'm not exaggerating. Pretty much all I've ever done all the time is try to create a certain impression of me in other people. Mostly to be liked or admired. It's a little more complicated than that, maybe. But when you come right down to it it's to be liked, loved. Admired, approved of, applauded, whatever. You get the idea. ✨ David Foster Wallace's first biographer, D.T. Max, on his inscrutable subject by Mark Sussman, www.politico.com. September 6, 2012.
