running love-you fighting
Oh,' she said, too bone-weary to pretend: 'I would far rather that I love you as I saw yesterday I do than that I had gone on worshiping you as I did not long since.' And she turned away hastily, and did not see that Little John would reach out to her; and half-running, went to Tuck's cottage, where she could pull on her half-dry clothes, and become a proper outlaw again. At least, she thought, fighting back tears, like this I am Cecil, with a place among friends, and a task to do. I am someone. I wonder if perhaps if I am no longer Cecil, I am no one at all.

And you are one of those organisms, living your life in the thrall of a logical absurdity. Robert Wright

William Faulkner

So the only environment the artist needs is whatever peace, whatever solitude, and whatever pleasure he can get at not too high a cost.
