I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion." -Henry David Thoreau]]> 2016-10-18 04:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131362430 307600 https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131363243 "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." -Ralph Waldo Emerson]]> 2016-10-18 05:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131363243 307600 https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131364943 by Walt Whitman]]> 2016-10-18 05:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131364943 307600 https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131365443 I want to...]]> 2016-10-18 05:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131365443 307600 https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131365660 There are almost 7.5 billion people alive in the world today.
Millions of them are mothers, others fathers or daughters or sisters or brothers or sons,
Most of these millions roam the world in a daze, never truly awake but never asleep.
The ones that wake hold the world in their palm.
Burning through life with a purpose, a passion, and a desire to explore.

There are almost 7.5 billion people alive in the world today.
Aspire to be more, to be more than just a number;
Aspire to be an astronaut or a pilot, aspire to be a singer or a teacher!
Don't settle for mediocre, demand excellence and achieve excellence!
Burn through life with passion and love and hope, and the rest will follow.]]> 2016-10-18 05:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131365660 307600 https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131373226 “We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love... these are what we stay alive for.” -Dead Poets Society]]> 2016-10-18 06:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131373226 307600 https://padlet.com/307600/kpeps/wish/131654526 “What is a course of history, or philosophy, or poetry, no matter how well selected, or the best society, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen?”
