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.
Credo attributed
to Jack London, ca. 1909
