    “At twelve I was determined to shoot only
    For honor; at twenty not to shoot at all;
    I know at thirty-three that one must shoot
    As often as one gets the rare chance—
    In killing there is more than commentary.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
