To put it simply, people who fit in with their communities have insufficient motivation to risk their psyches in creating something truly new, while those who are out of sync are driven by the constant need to prove their worth. ~Gary Taubes

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen.

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
