    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”

    “There be some sports are painful, and their labor
    Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
    Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
    Point to rich ends.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
