A person’s dearest possession is life. It is given to them but once, and they must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, they might say: All my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world: the fight for the liberation of humanity.—Nikolai Ostrovski
