Credo by Jack London
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 function of man is to live, not to exist.I shall not waste my days
trying to prolong them.I shall use my time.
