"I believe that man will not merely endure:  he will prevail.  He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.  The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things.

William Faulkner, receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature,
