A few days (weeks?) ago, someone wrote asking about a quote by Warren
McKenzie. I don't know if they ever found it, but I happened to run
across what I think is the right one in the archives in a discussion
about potting as a business. Here it is:

"The challenge is to do the thing you have to do because you're in
love with it and can't do anything else. Not because you want to
become famous or rich, but because you will be unhappy if you can't
do it. It is not something you can turn on and off."
