Factotum

If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don’t even start.

This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your own 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 tests of your endurance. Of how much
you really want to do it. And you’ll do it, despite rejection in the
worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

If you’re going to try, go all the way.

There’s
no other feeling like that, you will be alone with the gods and the
nights will flame with fire. You’ll ride life straight to perfect
laughter.
It’s the only good fight there is.
