&ldquo;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 proper function of man is to live, not to exist.&rdquo;<br /> -Jack London

&quot;To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Anyone who can touch you can hurt and heal you. Anyone who can reach you can love or leave you&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.&quot;
