    "Hey everybody, let's have some fun
    You only live but once, and when you're dead you're done
    So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
    Don't care if you're young or old, get together let the good times roll"

    When you know that men can be trained like dogs to believe and do anything - anything at all - it makes you value your own council and be suspect of every other."

    Another from one of my favourite Authors Tim Willocks.
    IMO a lot to think about in this one.

    The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor." -Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus, an existentialist short essay

    “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”

    Henry David Thoreau; Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
