Short storyI'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.Jack London1916★ 6.9
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.Jack London1916★ 6.7
