Quote by Martin Amis
Everything seems fine until you're about 40. Then something is definitely beginning to go wrong. And you look in the mirror with your old habit of thinking, 'While I accept that everyone grows old and dies, it's a funny thing, but I'm an exception to that rule.'

It explores the human tendency to believe that they are unique and invulnerable, despite intellectually understanding the inevitable reality of aging and mortality.
