What others say about living & passion:

Richard Bach:  Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.

Stephen Spender:  I think of those who were truly great:  the names of those who, in their lives, fought for life; who wore at their hearts the fire's center.

Ben Irwin:  Most of us spend our lives as if we had another one in the bank.

What I say:

Beauty, truth, art in all things is the direct result of a life lived passionately.  Passion is an all-or-nothing thing.  It is fierce.  It goes all in.  Passion knows that the only moment you own is this one.  It holds nothing back, saves nothing for tomorrow.  It is how mornings are met with wonder, excitement, anticipation, hope.  It is how nights are closed with full-on bodily satisfaction that today, you really lived.
