If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. If you're going to try, go all the way. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, jobs, relatives, maybe even your mind. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean jail. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. Do it, do it, do it. All the way. All the way. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that.
