“...I think we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people
we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not.
Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on
the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted
them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too
soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves
and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed,
forget who we were.”
― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
