The lot of man is ceaseless labor, Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder.

T. S. Eliot

I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful, and that which is love.

Since holiness is the main thing that excites, draws, and governs all gracious affections, it is no wonder that all such affections tend to holiness. That which men love, they desire to have and to be united to, and possessed of. That beauty which men delight in, they desire to be adorned with. Those acts which men delight in, they necessarily incline to do.

Jonathan Edwards

I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful and that which is love. Therefore, since I have known all of these things, I have found them to be reason enough and - I wish to live. Moreover, because this is so, I wish others to live for generations and generations and generations.

Lorraine Hansberry
