In very big companies, you find less entrepreneurialism than you really want to see. Success is defined as "don't make a mistake." And you get to be the C.E.O. by outlasting everybody else, then you're there for five or six years, and you want to get your bonus on the way out. ~Bernard L. Schwartz

I had wanted simply to convey to the reader by way of concrete example that life holds a potential meaning under any conditions, even the most miserable ones.

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
