Quotes by Stephen Carpenter (?)

“People always talk about how hard it can be to remember things - where they left their keys, or the name of an acquaintance - but no one ever talks about how much effort we put into forgetting. I am exhausted from the effort to forget... There are things that have to be forgotten if you want to go on living.”
― Stephen Carpenter, Killer

“Negative capability,” I say. “What’s that mean?” “Means being able to live with a bad situation—where you don’t know the outcome and things are uncertain—without worrying about making sense of it. It’s from the poet Keats.”
― Stephen Carpenter, Killer In The Hills

Okay, Steve, I've downloaded Killer. I'm not a Robert Parker fan but hey, what are friends for? When I'm in Palm Springs next month - and revive my Netflix membership - I'll check out your movies.
