Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

Quotes

Sounds good: simple and practical. Mind if I write it down in my notebook?

Of course not. But you mean to say you can't remember that much?

Nah, I'm like a chicken: three steps, and my mind's a blank. So I write everything down. I heard Einstein used to do that.

Oh sure, Einstein.

I don't mind being forgetful, he said, 'It's actually forgetting stuff that I don't like.
