PROMPTS:
"Drawing myself for others, I have drawn myself with purer and better colours."
--Michel de Montaigne

"It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them."
--Eudora Welty

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
--Sun Tzu
