“You can be whatever you want to in life, as long as you don't become a critic. Not of other people and not of yourself. It is so easy to be a critic, any coward can do that. But art does not need critics, art has enough enemies already. Art needs friends.”

“On February 2, 1709, Rogers' men visited the island of Más a Tierra (officially renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966), located in the Pacific about 400 miles from the Chilean coast. There they found a British sailor named Alexander Selkirk, who had been marooned on the island four years and four months earlier. Rogers took Selkirk onboard and ultimately brought him back to England, where his tale of survival became the backbone for Daniel Dafoe's famous novel, Robinson Crusoe.”
