I would rather be ashes....

"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 in a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and permanent planet; the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall use my time."

-Jack London


Wow! I didn't make a New Year's resolution this year. Is it too late? I'm stealing this. I could blather on about how much I relate to what is written here, but it is pretty concise and I will not belabor the point. Well said, London. Well said.
