"A day went by and still the man did not move or open his eyes. The nurse by the man's bed on the second morning was from the Philippines. Her name was Imelda. She sat and watched the sleeping man. Sometimes he moved his legs or arms a little, sometimes he made a low sound. She thought perhaps he would soon wake up, and watched him carefully."
The Man from Nowhere - Bernard Smith
"We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master." Ernest Hemingway
