Carpe Diem




The shortness of life cannot dissuade us from its pleasures, nor console us from its pains.

Marquis de Vauvernagues, Reflexions and Maxims, 1746



Better a thousand times even a swiftly fading, ephemeral moment of life than the epoch-long unconsciousness of the stone.

Edwin Way Teale, Autumn Across America, 1956
