The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present.
Alan LightmanWhen I used to play golf. It's a terrible miserable game. It's incredibly frustrating. In 18 holes you make 150 horrible shots off in the woods, in the water...You make one good shot and it brings you back the next time. With writing a long book there has to be at least one bit that has some magic in it that you can go back to.
