  • 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. I shall not waste my days in trying
    to prolong them.
  • I shall use my time.
  • By Jack London on Life

Rob Massaroni
  • Be such a man, and live such a life, that if
    every man were such as you, and every life a life
    like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
  • Rob
  • was such a man!
