George Saunders on Three Things

^z10th January 2026 at 10:53am

From an interview "George Saunders Is No Saint (Despite What You May Have Heard)" by David Marchese in the New York Times:

... You know those three things that you’ve always thought of? They’re not true. You’re not permanent, you’re not the most important thing and you’re not separate. ...

... and in Toki Pona, perhaps:

sina lon ala pi tenpo ale
sina lon ala sewi
sina lon ala tu

toki pona loose translation
sina lon ala pi tenpo aleyou are not eternal
sina lon ala sewiyou are not supreme
sina lon ala tuyou are not divided

(cf Be Kind (2021-02-27), ...) - ^z - 2026-01-10
