Where does the phrase “to live instead of exist” originated?”
I would like to be a flower which blossoms to full glory and dies, than being a tree that never blossoms. I would like to be a spark that burns with a brilliant blaze for a moment, than being a light which cannot show the path to anyone. I would like to be a superb meteor which carries a magnificent glow, than being a sleepy and permanent planet. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use them. I am born to live, not to exist.
