“ The only [thing] I know is that no matter what happens to convince me differently, I still believe in this parallel life. I still place inordinate emphasis, living-and-dying emphasis, on how I look and what I do, on what I produce and what I achieve, on how I perform and what I say or do or look like on a given day. Each moment rests on the next, waits breathlessly to see if I deserve the next.
