All bad things are exaggerated in the middle of the night. When you lie awake, you only think of bad things.
Julian BarnesLife … is a bit like reading. … If all your responses to a book have already been duplicated and expanded upon by a professional critic, then what point is there to your reading? Only that it’s yours. Similarly, why live your life? Because it’s yours. But what if such an answer becomes less and less convincing?
Julian Barnes
