“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.”

“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 shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
