James Joyce
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Dylan Thomas
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
