Quote

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of [wo]man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."--Jack London
