Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that's all. That's all there is. It's all him and nothing else, inside.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
