"The following are the universally fundamental laws of literary communication: 1. one must have something to communicate; 2. one must have someone to whom to communicate it; 3. one must really communicate it, not merely express it for oneself alone. Otherwise it would be more to the point to remain silent."

Friedrich Von Schlegel, German philosopher. Aphorism 98 in Selected Aphorisms from the Lyceum

The Examined Life: Writing and the Art of Medicine
