Don Quixote. The message matches my own—life is unbearable without a dollop (or more) of madness; one can live one’s life as a knight errant (or whatever) if one is ready to pay the consequences. But successfully executed madness for artistic purposes requires aforethought. Before setting out to right wrongs, Don Quixote did his reading, outfitted himself authentically, and acquired a squire. —Jeffrey Tayler

Jeffrey Tayler is the
Atlantic Moscow correspondent, whose stories I put into type for many years, and who recently friended me on Facebook! From his Facebook page, I found this great quote in a
12/31/05 interview on "World Hum,""the best travel stories on the Internet," by Jim Benning.
