A Quote by L. Ron Hubbard
The entire function of man is to survive. The outermost limit of endeavour is creative work. Anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. So I am engaged in
striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at least realize survival in a way to astound the gods.
