Hemingway's Message: Stop Procrastinating!

For all of you out there who are putting off writing your magnum opus (or doing anything else you've always dreamed of), consider the dying thoughts of the narrator of Hemingway's Snows of Kilimanjaro:  "Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now."


[H/T Lyrissa Lidsky at PrawfsBlawg for the great quote!]
