All good novelists have bad memories.
Graham Greene

When I replied that I loved her too in that way, I was the liar, not she, for I never lose the consciousness of time: to me the present is never here: it is always last year or next week.

If you live in a place for long you cease to read about it.

Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
