Life

“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 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, Jack London's Tales of Adventure, US adventurer, author, & sailor (1876 - 1916)
