Has any man ever obtained inner harmony by simply reading about the experiences of others? Not since the world began has it ever happened. Each man must go through the fire himself.
No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed.

Conflict and pain, and fame immortal are his guerdon.
We are at war - undeclared and of such a subtle nature that few have noticed - but war nevertheless.
