“First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation.

Any art, any good work, of course, is that. Not to write, for many of us, is to die.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
