The Zoo Story (1959).Edward Albee
The art in all communication is to come as close as possible to actuality, to contemporaries in the role of readers, and yet at the same time to have the distance of a point of view, the reassuring, infinite distance of ideality from them. Papers VII B 325
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
Any strategy that involves crossing a valley—accepting short-term losses to reach a higher hill in the distance—will soon be brought to a halt by the demands of a system that celebrates short-term gains and tolerates stagnation, but condemns anything else as failure.

Neal Stephenson

Larry Holmes
Never mistake a clear view for a short distance.
Paul Saffo
My favorite athletes of any Olympics are always the African distance runners. You never have to drug test an African distance runner.
