      Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state

      Mine never shall be parted, weal or woe.

      —John Milton, Paradise Lost

      Do what thy manhood bids thee do

      From none but self expect applause;

      He noblest lives and noblest dies

      Who makes and keeps his self-made laws.

      —Sir Richard Francis Burton

      Yes, I am proud; I must be proud to see

      Men not afraid of God, afraid of me.

      —Alexander Pope, “Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot”

      Life is contemptuous of knowledge; it forces it to sit in the anterooms, to wait outside. Passion, energy, lies: these are what life admires.

      —James Salter, Light Years
