I believe man will not merely endure, he will prevail...because he has a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
Curiosity is a mistress whose slaves decline no sacrifice.
He [the writer] must, teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed - love and honor and pity and compassion and sacrifice.
