Image
Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed.

Image
Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness - perhaps unimaginative of me.
