“In the time of your life, live – so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed. Place in matter and flesh the least of the values, for these are things that hold death and must pass away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Encourage virtue into whatever heart it may have been driven by the shame and terror of the world. Ignore the obvious, for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart….In the time of your life, live… so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it!”
from William Saroyan's preface to his play In the Time of Your Life
