    “Out into distant futures, which no dream hath yet seen, into warmer souths than ever sculptor conceived,—where gods in their dancing are ashamed of all clothes.”

    Or, more pithily; “Let the future and the furthest be the motive of thy to-day…”

    Both from Thus Spake Zarathustra.

  • Donne Hayden

    human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will
    never sit.
