    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
