"You surely know what the great sportswriter Red Smith said about writing,
that it was easy, that all you did was open a vein and bleed.
You bleed real good, and your heart is where the blood comes from.
If you ever wonder what in hell you think you're doing with
your life, let me remind you that you are telling people
as reasonable and humane as yourself what they desperately
need to hear, that others feel as they do."

-- Kurt Vonnegut
