...from books I just read:
"He felt a pain in his chest, which quickly spread to his left arm. He knew that pain; he had felt it before, recently. There was a phone at his elbow; help was available - if he wanted it. The pain increased; the brandy glass fell from his fingertips.
He only had to wait. The pain would take him, or it would leave him. He genuinely had no preference."
from the last two paragraphs of "Chiefs" by Stuart Woods
"You forget the things you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget."
from "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy
um, are you suffering from depression, there, Cap'n?
ReplyDeleteLOL! No, not really! But, I must confess, I have had these thoughts myself. I was just impressed that somebody could elucidate them in prose so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern, though!
