“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
I was looking for a “business” partner to share a new venture with and have received – out of the blue – an offer from a fellow historian who has followed my work for a long time.
