"I have never been the sort of person who carried something out at all costs.... What I have written was written in a lukewarm bath. I have not experienced the eternal hell of real writers..." -- Franz Kafka, in a letter to his friend Max Brod. [From a collection of his correspondence titled Letters to Friends, Family, and Editors.](submitted to the mailing list by Terry Labach)
