...have a laser-like focus on becoming doctors or investment bankers. Some of that derision may be deserved. But there is much to admire in pursuing a clearly articulated career goal. For those without a professional plan (and even for those who do have one) there is an implicit mission inherent in attending the world’s greatest university: to sate one’s intellectual curiosity.

All artists - and nominally, Thompson was an artist - need a touch of the lunatic about them. But only a touch. In the end they are obliged to produce. And they are obliged not to succumb to, or to excessively encourage, their own myths. Thanks in part to Thompson's example...
