• If you can walk with the crowd and keep your virtue,
  Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch;
  If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
  If all men count with you, but none too much;
  If you can fill the unforgiving minute
  With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
  Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
  And - which is more - you'll be a man my son!

  Rudyard Kipling

• Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.
