ravings

As I was packing in Texas, in the process of going through a trunk in search of things to throw away, I came across a statement of life goals I'd written for an assignment in a high school English class. This is what I wrote:

To learn and to teach
To love and understand
To live and to die
To seek truth, love, and courage

My age has doubled since I wrote that, but I think it will still do pretty well as a personal mission statement.

(P.S. One thousand geek points if you know where the last line came from.)
