I’m a product of a versatile mind in a restless generation with every reason to throw my mind and pen in with the radicals.  Even if, deep in my heart, I thought we were all blind atoms in a world as limited as a stroke of a pendulum, I and my sort would struggle against tradition; try, at least, to displace old cants with new ones.  I’ve thought I was right about life at various times, but faith is difficult.  One thing I know.  If living isn’t a seeking for the grail it may be a damned amusing game.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
