Per Ardua ad Astra.
“It is the universe – or nothing” (H. G. Wells)
“We desire the permanent repose of some final attainment…but are committed to action by the nature of our infinite desires” (I. F. Clarke)
“To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars…strong in will,
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield” (Tennyson)
I feel better now.
