At what expense any valuable work is performed! At the expense of a life! If you do one thing well, what else are you good for in the meanwhile?
--Thoreau
There are two kinds of obscurity; one arises from a lack of feelings and thoughts, which have been replaced by words; the other from an abundance of feelings and thoughts, and the inadequacy of words to express them.
--Alexander Pushkin
