How often do we tell our own life story? How often do
we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life
goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our
account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely
the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but
- mainly - to ourselves.
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
