HAHA: Martin Amis, on having his teeth out:
"The next hour was nothing: I was going to sail through it. How? Because I could look in my soul and see the courage, the strength, the simple heroism of a man who has taken a tremendous amount of valium.*"
and, the footnote:
"* Advice. Take a near-fatal dose on rising, of course. But take a near-fatal dose the night before, in addition. Then numbness descends on numbness. Then you are two distances away from your reality."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
