If
you’re going to try,
go all the way. Otherwise, don’t
even start. This could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean
not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a
park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could
mean mockery — isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the
others are a test of your endurance, of how much
you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it,
despite rejection and the worst odds.
It’s the only good fight
there is.
