About This Quote

Michael Crichton said, "I remember so many things [. . .] The problem is, only half of them are true . .

. and the half which is true keeps changing places with the half which is false." This quote can be interpreted in different ways. Does he mean that he remembered things that never happened? That he remembered half of something, but didn't recall the other half? Or that he remembered one thing that happened, then forgot about it? We may never know.
