I write because it’s like being a man with a spacehopper and no money. And one day you have to go to town, but you have no money, so you ride the spacehopper. And after a while you learn that it’s fun to ride the spacehopper and you’re good at riding the spacehopper, so every time you go to town you put on your helmet and you ride the spacehopper.
