    Pierce Brown
    “My love, my love
    Remember the cries
    When winter died for spring skies
    They roared and roared
    But we grabbed our seed
    And sowed a song
    Against their greed

    And
    Down in the vale
    Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
    the reaper swing
    Down in the vale
    Hear the reaper sing
    A tale of winter done

    My son, my son
    Remember the chains
    When gold ruled with iron reins
    We roared and roared
    And twisted and screamed
    For ours, a vale
    of better dreams”
    Pierce Brown, Red Rising

    George Bernard Shaw
    “This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
    George Bernard Shaw

It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.”
