If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. ~Cicero (the prevaricating jackass, who was also a sniveling cowardly shitweasel and the world's worst Stoic.)

Yes. Ok, you need to start a thread and tell me the story of Cicero.

Ditto this!

It will take me a little time to get my thoughts in order on that subject. In the meantime, meditate upon this:

THIS PHOWER K

Now you can tell everyone this is your song/ It may be quite simple but now that it's done/ I hope you don't mind/ I hope you don't mind that I put down in words/ How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Correct! One of my favorite love songs ever. <3

OK give me the U already

You define what's death-defying/Get the most out of life or at the least die trying/Are you Evel Knievel jumping a train?/Or running with scissors like Frasier Crane?

Yes. It's a line from a Bloodhound Gang song called Take the Long Way Home. I find it surprisingly inspirational.

Woo! When I recognized the "get the most out of life" part I remembered the rest.

Yes! It's from Hardy's Convergence of the Twain, a poem about the Titanic.
