Quote
I would rather be ashes than dust.
I would rather my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze, than it should be stifled in dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, with every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
- Jack London
寧化飛灰，不作浮塵。
寧投熊熊烈火，光盡而滅；不伴寂寂朽木，默默同腐。
寧為耀目流星，迸發萬仗光芒；不羨永恒星體，悠悠沉睡終古。
- Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong, quoted in Hong Kong Policy Address 1996 (the last address before 1997 handover to China)
