Source?

I can't believe I forgot to add it, after pursuing eightbitsamurai for his source earlier. This is from Xman, by Michael Brodsky. This will sound precious (it is precious), but I credit Michael Brodsky for derailing my writing career. He derailed it because I, in my mid-20s, could not fathom how somebody like Michael Brodsky could remain rooted in obscurity while others were lauded for work that was nowhere near his standard. If an obvious genius can't get recognition, what help does anyone else have, other than pure fortune? That quote is from the first page of Xman. The novel is 539 pages long and every page is of equal or greater value.
