Martin Amis quote: "You don't have problems, only a capacity for feeling anxious..."
You don't have problems, only a capacity for feeling anxious about them, which shifts and jostles but doesn't change. Martin Amis
An imperfectly remembered life is a useless treachery. Every day, more fragments of the past roll around heavily in the chambers of an empty brain, shedding bits of color, a sentence or a fragrance, something that changes and then disappears. It drops like a stone to the bottom of the cave. Barbara Kingsolver
