Live long and

The slightest
living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man
because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or
growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to
the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance
where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static;
and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft
of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own
travelling brotherhood.
-- Freya Stark
1893-1993, British Travel
Writer
Lord, how the
day passes! It is like a life, so quickly when we don't
watch it, and so slowly if we do.
-- John Steinbeck
1902-1968, American Author

It is not the

I have done my
fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten
to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it
long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived
life than I. And still it's good fun.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
1850-1895, Scottish Essayist,
Poet, Novelist
We live in an
ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to
another in an endless series.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
1850-1895, Scottish Essayist,
Poet, Novelist
Life is a
means of extracting fiction.
