• The generations before you failed. They didn’t stay up all night. They got distracted and lost sight of the fact that life is a miracle every moment of your existence. Nature beckons you to be on her side. You couldn’t ask for a better boss. The most unrealistic person in the world is the cynic, not the dreamer. Hope only makes sense when it doesn’t make sense to be hopeful. This is your century. Take it and run as if your life depends on it.

And he watched her, despising the need for this courage, yet understanding it, even honoring it.

• A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
  As night descends upon the fabled street:
  A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
  And ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
  Here though the world explode, these two survive,
  And it is always eighteen ninety-five.
