"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather my spark burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy, permanent planet.The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days.I shall use my time."
"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

I would rather be a meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy, permanent planet.The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days.I shall use my time."
