14. 10. “At the very least…have a personal philosophy”
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I
work, the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.
Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the
moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it on.”
