“It would be inappropiate, undignified, at 38, to conduct friendships or love affairs with the ardour or intensity of a 22 year old. Falling in love like that? Writing poetry? Crying at pop songs? Dragging people into photobooths? Taking a whole day to make a compilation tape? Asking people if they wanted to share your bed, just for company?

Ridiculous, at 38, to expect a song or book or film to change your life.”
― David Nicholls, One Day

“The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.”
