I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. – George Bernard Shaw

“You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of.
If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

- Fitzgerald quoted by C. Guerra, excerpted here from “wait…”

{bit of wisdom: say grace}

Jenn — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:00:31 +0000

You say grace before meals. All right.

But I say grace before the concert

and the opera,

and grace before the play

and pantomime,

and grace before I open a book,

and grace before sketching,

painting,

swimming,

fencing,

boxing,

walking,

playing,

dancing,

and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

- G. K. Chesterton
