"As the fiftieth birthday approaches, you get the sense that your life is thinning out, and will continue to thin out, until it thins out into nothing. And you sometimes say to yourself: That went a bit quick. That went a bit quick. In certain moods, you may want to put it rather more forcefully. As in: OY!! THAT went a BIT F****** QUICK!!! ... Then fifty comes and goes, and fifty-one, and fifty-two. And life thickens out again. Because there is now an enormous and unsuspected presence within your being, like an undiscovered continent. This is the past."
- Martin Amis, from his novel The Pregnant Widow.

Quotation of the Day for August 30, 2010
So close to something, I feel it,
All alone, I can't help believing -
Here I go into the Great Unknown
No one can tell me where I'm gonna be
When I sail into the mystery
I know I'm falling, don't know where I'm gonna land
Are you ready? Am I ready? I believe I am.
- Paul Quarrington, writer and musician, from his song "Are You Ready". He wrote the song shortly before his death in January 2010 from lung cancer. Quarrington wrote a memoir of his last days called Cigar Box Banjo: Notes on Music and Life, which includes a CD with this and other songs.
