DANIEL HOLCOMBE
"[S]trive to make your history such that a melancholy reader will be made to smile, a smiling reader will be moved to laughter, an unsophisticated reader will not lose interest, a perceptive reader will marvel at the originality, a serious reader will not hold it in contempt, and a wise reader cannot fail to praise it."
- Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote de la Mancha.
