Yesterday I went to the doctor, to see about these dizzy spells. He told me that I have developed what used to be called a heart, as if healthy people didn’t have one. It seems I will not after all keep on living forever, merely getting smaller and greyer and dustier, like Sibyl in her bottle.

Where do you go to get a new life when your old one has you so puzzled you don't know how to fix it? Wish I knew. Laurell K. Hamilton
