"Real life, in my experience, is not rife with epiphanies, let alone
lessons; what little we learn tends to come exactly too late, gets
contradicted by the next blunder, or is immediately forgotten and has to
be learned all over again. More and more, the only things that seem to
me worth writing about are the ones I don’t understand. Sometimes the
most honest and helpful thing a writer can do is to acknowledge that
some problems are insoluble, that life is hard and there aren’t going to
be any answers, that he’s just as screwed-up and clueless as the rest
of us. Or I don’t know, maybe it’s just me."
