In my younger days when I smoked a pipe, my intense albeit absent minded puffing, a habit of mind exacerbated by pipe smoking itself, invariably left little ember holes all over the front of my suit coats and most distressingly of all my tweed and camel hair sport jackets.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
