 “If you're going to try, go all the way. 
 Otherwise, don't even start. 
 This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. 
 It could mean not eating for three or four days. 
 It could mean freezing on a park bench. 
 It could mean jail.
 It could mean derision. 
 It could mean mockery, isolation. 
 Isolation is a gift.

 You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. 
 It's the only good fight there is.”
