#surreal

I walked into my own book, seeking peace. It was night, and I made a careless movement inside the dream; I turned too brusquely the corner and I bruised myself against my madness. ↗

I'm not a drama person, but when you can make a movie in song form in three-and-a-half minutes, it's surreal. ↗

One of the most surreal moments in this election was after the third debate, when I heard a talking head say, Al Gore won on substance, on the issues. But you have to give the victory to Bush because he seems presidential. ↗

Winning in women's singles felt surreal. I felt that everything I had done - the hard work, the tough times - was all worth it. ↗

I would never write realistic prose. I don't like people who try to write in a poetic style, but in the course of their book abandon it for realism, and weave back and forth like drunkards between the surreal and the real. ↗
