Damage Hardens Us All. It Will Harden

I Don't Ever Write With A Particular Audience In Mind. I Just Write Books That Please Me.

I Can't Say That I Ever Actually Decided To Become A Writer. It Kind Of Snuck Up On Me.

The Rest-the Vast Majority, Tens Of Thousands Of Days-are Unremarkable, Repetitive, Even Monotonous. We Glide Through Them Then Instantly Forget Them. We Tend Not To Think About This Arithmetic When We Look Back On Our Lives. We Remember The Handful Of Big Days And Throw Away The Rest. We Organize Our Long, Shapeless Lives Into Tidy Little Stories...but Our Lives Are Mostly Made Up Of Junk, Of Ordinary, Forgettable Days, And 'the End' Is Never The End.

At Some Point As Adults We Cease To Be Our Parents' Children And We Become Our Children's Parents Instead.
