I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable and beautiful
and afraid of nothing as though I had wings."

to taste experience to the utmost,

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention
of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
"Wow! What a Ride!”
