    “Poetry is the supreme fiction, madame.

    Like windy citherns hankering for hymns.”

    “The forward Youth that would appear
    Must now forsake his Muses dear,
    Nor in the Shadows sing
    His Numbers languishing.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
