Excerpt from The Breath of the Runners: A Novel So long as there shall exist in the human breast an insatiable desire to attain some object, it matters not what, if the quarry pursued outranks in importance the methods employed to attain it, so long as need, selfishness, or, most terrible of all, an imperious and unappeasable ambition urge forward the worker, the man of science studies until plunged into an abyss of madness, the artist creates until he sinks: in other words, so long as our cities are centres of inflamed and abnormal activity into which all types are drawn and set acting and reacting upon one another in a relentless and incessant struggle to attain preeminence, just so long the parable contained in The Breath of the Runners must have weight.
