DEDICATION (#ulink_35e2013e-98c6-526c-85ff-4fff6460d88e)
For Bob and my parents – who know the reason why
EPIGRAPH (#ulink_4146f676-d0d5-5128-ae68-7255e16dbf1c)
The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long, yet get little from life.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
– MONTAIGNE, Essays
I have the heart of a man, not of a woman, and I am not afraid of anything …
– ELIZABETH I, Queen of England
