Acknowledgments
Good poets borrow, great poets steal
I am deeply indebted to Casey Stetler for his invaluable help in editing the book, his unceasing enthusiasm, and his willingness to let me borrow his ideas.
I would also like to thank Dr. James R. Mannes for the many meaningful conversations about everything from psychoanalysis to narcissism to surfing.
In addition, I wish to acknowledge those whose response to earlier versions pushed me along to this version: Lauralee Farrer, Gerric Duncan, Paul Stetler, Kristi Walsh and Michael Wright. I borrowed from them as well.

presumably, as you are stealing from t.s.eliot, you've numbered yourself among the great poets. my, my you do know something of narcissism, don't you?
congratulatons on this fine work, jonathan -- may great success soon follow.
My research showed that no one is quite certain that he is the orignator of that quote. He said it, but likely stole it from someone else. The absolute most I can say about myself is that I borrowed it.
I also borrowed from you, Casey. Extensively. But I'm afraid those ideas are on permanent loan.
oh, i suppose that you think that i'm so vain, that i think this book is about me. don't you?
Nice. Nice.
I think Mark Twain said it.
