It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it.
Life is love - enjoy it.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations. And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.
