But young adults of the nineties - who got to watch all this brave new individualism and sexual freedom deteriorate into the joyless and anomic self-indulgence of the Me Generation - today’s subforties have very different horrors, prominent among which are anomie and solipsism and a peculiarly American loneliness: the prospect of dying without even once having loved something more than yourself.

David Foster Wallace (via maxistentialist)

This one’s from DFW’s essay on John Updike from Consider The Lobster, which originally appeared on The New York Observer.
