"Remember one thing only: that it's you—nobody
else—who determines your destiny and decides your fate. Nobody else can be
alive for you; nor can you be alive for anybody else. Toms can be Dicks and
Dicks can be Harrys, but none of them can ever be you. "— American poet E.E.
Cummings (1894-1962), I: Six Nonlectures (1953)Wednesday, May 18, 2016
