    “Howard Beale is processed, instant God, and right now it looks like he might just go over bigger than Mary Tyler Moore.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “When it’s over I don’t want to wonder
    if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
    I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
    or full of argument.
    I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”
    —Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
