"This is probably the sincerest, most biased account of ‘Best” your Decider can give: these peices are models— not templates, but models— of ways I wish I could think and live in what seems to me this world."

— David Foster Wallace in his Introduction to the 2007 edition of The Best American Essays, for which he was Editor, or as he called it, “Decider.” (via booksijustread)
