― Homer, The Odyssey

“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.”
― Jack London

“If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

“You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
― Jack London
