Random quote of the day:

 

“I do not belong to that fortunate class of authors who write constantly, quickly, easily, and always well, whose imaginations never tire and who—unhampered by doubts of inhibitions—are by nature open to the world.  Whatever they touch, it is always right. That I do not belong in such company, of course, bothers me and sometimes even upsets me: I am ambitious and I’m angry with myself for having so few ideas, for finding it so difficult to write, for having so little faith in myself, and for thinking so much about everything that I often feel crippled by it.”

—Vaclav Havel, “Second Wind,” Open Letters and Summer Meditations

Ah, Vaclav. He will be missed.

Yes. And if someone as good as he can have such doubts, I don't feel quite so whiny.
