"This
is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as
a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little
clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote
itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the
whole community and as I live it is my privilege - my *privilege* to do for
it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the
harder I work the more I love. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is
no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got a hold
of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before
handing it on to future generations."
- George Bernard Shaw
