Dry-rot Quotes

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 function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. (Jack London)
Indifference may not wreck a man's life at any one turn, but it will destroy him with a kind of dry-rot in the long run. View quote
