“It was a truth I had to accept, a truth that underscored that I had aged - one that brought with its attendant images of loneliness and irrelevance.”
Bhaskar Ghose, The Teller of Tales

“But why this obsession with what's actually true, the real, all that? Can't you accept that our lives are always part fiction?”

'In other words, you want a refill,' I said and got him one.”
