Sunday Quote #18

This week I am taking a commenter's advice and sharing a quote which appears in Civilisation 4. It feels fairly apt for me at this moment. I made the decision a little while ago to pursue writing as a serious career, despite having no professional experience and without really having a clue how to make a living from it. I am making enough money to pay the bills by doing what is basically my old job, tech consulting, but the shine went out of that long ago now. I know where I want to go and have only a vague idea of how to get there, but that is enough to get started. Anyway, on with the quoting!

An interesting man who led an interesting life. One can see how he might be able to speak from experience.
