"I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it and then it's gone. But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying - even more terrible than dying young." Joan of Lorraine (a play by Maxwell Anderson)
