- Veen 6y agoI apologise for this needless pedantry, but it’s: “Forget your hopes. They are what brought you here.” The comma splice in your version is a little inelegant.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoNot needless. I was pleased to be able to search for it and find the fragment in which it occurs together with the original (which I can't read of course). See https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/05/27/what-the-hell https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/05/27/what-the-hell
- Neil44 6y agoThankyou for the correction it’s something I remember from a radio interview with him years ago :)
