Page three and I already want to quote it.

“Purity. Serenity. Simplicity. Seclusion.  All one’s concentration and flamboyance and originality reserved for  the grueling, exalted, transcendent calling.  I looked around and I thought,  this is how I will live.”

(Zuckerman discussing the living conditions of a literary mentor.)
