A quotation from John Kennedy
That is the question of the New Frontier. That is the choice our nation must make — a choice that lies not merely between two men or two parties, but between the public interest and private comfort — between national greatness and national decline — between the fresh air of progress and the stale, dank atmosphere of “normalcy” — between determined dedication and creeping mediocrity.
All mankind waits upon our decision. A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust, we cannot fail to try.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) American politician, author, journalist, US President (1961–63)
Speech (1960-07-15), “The New Frontier,” Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, Democratic National Convention, Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles

in reply to WIST Quotations • • •then the most surefire way for a writer to acquire the admiration of their contemporaries is to cease being one of them.
Death removes all the irritating defects of a living author (ambition, opinions, success) & leaves behind the most respectable of literary virtues: an inability to reply to critics.
