You must take living so seriously that even at seventy, for example, you'll plant olive trees -- and not for your children, either, but because although you fear death you don't believe it, because living, I mean, weighs heavier.
- Nazim Hikmet
Turkish poet, persecuted during the Cold War for his communist views (1901-1963)
