"If asked to supply his own epitaph, Gil Rolfe likely would have suggested: The Best Damn Solitaire Player in the World. He was almost completely his own creation, including his name. He had overcome both heredity and environment and had done it without help and, at times, against active opposition. He had learned young that the world didn't care whether he survived or perished. And he resolved to beat the world with its own deck. Indifference was his religion, detachment his philosophy. In the vernacular of his society, Gil Rolfe was known as a man who never lost his cool.".
