    “He will not go,
    But wait through fish scale, shale dust, bone
    of hawk and marmot,

    Til flung on a new net of atoms:”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “In a novel a hero can lay ten girls and marry a virgin for a finish. In a movie this is not allowed. The hero, as well as the heroine, has to be a virgin. The villain can lay anybody he wants, have as much fun as he wants cheating and stealing, getting rich and whipping the servants. But you have to shoot him in the end.”
    —Herbert Mankiewicz (1897–1953)

    “The minutes wing’d their way wi’ pleasure:
    Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious,
    O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious!”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
