“The dreariness of an ideal attained is to be tired of life; it is a life without trouble. Heap on me a dunghill of tongue-torn trouble till it fills my mouth and eyes and nose, till it fills up my throat and forces me to cough and vomit it out, and I rise laughing and crusted in trouble.” — Gordon Roddick, 1963
