If your going to try, go all the way.
otherwise don't even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe 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 the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
And youll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.


If your going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like
that.
You will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
You will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.
