Starring W. V. Quine as

"Birthday, death-day --
what day is not both?"
-- John Updike
"We tell ourselves stories in order to live....
We interpret what we see, select the most
workable of multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are
writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images,
by the 'ideas' with which we have learned to freeze the shifting
phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.
Or at least we do for a while. I am talking here about a time when I
began to doubt the premises of all the stories I had ever told myself,
a common condition but one I found troubling."
-- Joan Didion, The White Album
