    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    The surprise is half the battle. Many things are half the battle, losing is half the battle. Let’s think about what’s the whole battle.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner)

    Extreme patience and persistence are required,
    Yet everybody succeeds at this before being handed
    The surprise box lunch of the rest of his life.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
