You will find men like him in all of the world's religions.

Know how to keep anticipation alive: always strive to feed it, by letting the much promise more, and the one achievement be the announcement only of a greater.

A person of your century: Great persons are of their time. Not all were born into a period worthy of them, and many so born failed to benefit by it.

But the philosopher, being ageless, has one advantage: Should this not prove the right century, many to follow will.

Of course, it’s not for everyone...But I lived in that world, not only during my years in the magazines business but for years before, because I was always of that world-- at least in my imagination.
