       To Betsy Bulleit, since this was her idea

       “It was never just a question of escape.

       It was also a question of transformation.”

       Michael Chabon

       The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

      “The city gave its name to the power of patience—Romanita. Romanita excludes emotion, hurry, doubt. Romanita waits, sees the moment and moves ruthlessly when the time is right. Romanita rests on an absolute conviction of ultimate success and arises from a single principle, Cunctando regitur mundus: waiting, one conquers all.”

       Mary Doria Russell

       The Sparrow

       “How much more of life we live than we remember.”
