The tennis challenger starts strong but soon loses confidence in his playing. The champion racks up the games.

("Life of Pi")

Yann Martel

My life is like a memento mori painting from European art: there is always a grinning skull at my side to remind me of the folly of human ambition.

Laurie Anderson

Leon Jaworski
