“Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.”
—André Gide (1869–1951)
