“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 proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall
not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”—American
novelist and short-story writer Jack London (1876-1916), quoted in The Bulletin,
San Francisco, California, December 2, 1916
