Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Only those who decline to scramble up the career ladder are interesting as human beings. Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

W.H. Auden
“In the eyes of others a man is a poet if he has written one good poem. In his own he is only a poet at the moment when he is making his last revision to a new poem. The moment before, he was still only a potential poet; the moment after, he is a man who has ceased to write poetry, perhaps forever.”
W.H. Auden, The Dyer's Hand and Other Essays
