Kindle Notes & Highlights
Selective memory is one of the chief sins of the old,
First this, then that, hence the other thing.
Because the brain doesn’t age, although its ideas about the world may harden and there’s a greater tendency to run off at the mouth about how things were in the good old days. (I was spared that, at least, because most of my so-called good old days had been spent as a full-bore, straight-on-for-Texas drug addict.) I think for most people, life’s deceptive deliriums begin to fall away after fifty.
The three true ages of man are youth, middle age, and how the fuck did I get old so soon?
Home is where they want you to stay longer.
