“I think that, as life is passion and action, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.”

“U.S. judge, and Civil War veteran, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.” quoted by Christie Blatchford in Globe & Mail July 7, 2006 [filing from Kandahar, Afghanistan]
