ADVICE TO MY FUTURE DISSERTATION-WRITING SELF: From Czeslaw Milosz:
No duties. I don't have to be profound.
I don't have to be artistically perfect.
Or sublime. Or edifying.
...
Let others take care of it. Time for me to play hooky.
Buona notte. Ciao. Farewell.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
