However gnawing a deficiency, satiety is worse... We are meant to be hungry.

Life is never easy so that is why I never lie about my age. I want credit for every damned year.

Not that happiness is dull. Only that it doesn't tell well. And of our consuming diversions as we age is to recite, not only to others but to ourselves, our own story.

Size is relative. If everyone is fat, no-one is fat

Though surely to avoid attachments for fear of loss is to avoid life.

It was important to me to put together a future history that would scan, and serve as the backdrop to the domestic story. Economics is really what drives the plot.

A successful lie cannot be brought into this world and capriciously abandoned; like any committed relationship, it must be maintained, and with far more devotion than the truth, which carries on being carelessly true without any help.
