The awful thing about a long-haul passion-expertise is the slow realization that virtually every novel-feeling insight that SHAKES you shook someone else *before* you. The wonderful thing about a long-haul passion-expertise is the realization that the loneliness was only spatial.

Speaking for myself, here: I felt like if I could be smart enough to think something new and important, I could be loved for that. Etch my name onto a plaque! It didn't even occur to me that ideas could create any real intimacy. You just force yourself onto a higher perch, right?
