Excerpt from Philip Roth, The Anatomy Lesson.
"If you want to be reminded of your limitations virtually every minute, there's no better occupation to choose. Your memory, your diction, your intelligence, your sympathies, your observations, your sensations, your understanding--never enough. You find out more about what's missing in you than you really ought to know....." Philip Roth |
