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 MAN IS TO LIVE, NOT TO EXIST. I SHALL NOT WASTE MY DAYS TRYING TO PROLONG THEM.I SHALL USE MY TIME -Jack London
