"What, then, if you waste a lifetime? People do. Perhaps most do. they go to their graves having done nothing with themselves...They walk across the stage of life, leaving everything about as it was when they entered, achieving nothing, aspiring to nothing, having never a profound or even original thought, doing what those around them are doing, getting through life with as little discomfort as possible...It is, indeed, almost as if they had never been.
This is what is common, usual, typical, indeed normal. Relatively few rise much above such plodding existence." — Richard Taylor, Restoring Pride
