“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived.”
– Henry David Thoreau

Word Ferret: Writing Prompts, Book Reviews, and Short Stories 
I remember in school we performed the dead poet society in the English Drama Group. I believe that quote also popped up there somewhere, alongside with Frost and Walt Whitman.
I’m a fan of Thoreau and Whitman. What part did you play?
When I think about that, dying and maybe feeling like I forgot to do something or should have tried this or that, or that I could’ve lived better or bolder, I get a little nervous. A little worried.
Really are words to live by, or at least, in this world of so much responsibility, words to try to live by.
Anyway, I just had to comment on that quote before taking a look around your site.
