“We are what the past has made us. We are what the future will make us. Live now. Right now.”
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
“We all live with it. That unbearable terror is what makes us such singular creatures.”
Emily Jessup
Altered States (1980)
Context: We all live with it. That unbearable terror is what makes us such singular creatures. We hide from it, we succumb to it, mostly we defy it! We build fragile little structures to keep it out. We love, we raise families, we work, we make friends. We write poems...
“From what we get, we can make a living. What we give; however, makes a life.”

Early career years (1898–1929)
Context: What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone? How else can we put ourselves in harmonious relation with the great verities and consolations of the infinite and the eternal? And I avow my faith that we are marching towards better days. Humanity will not be cast down. We are going on swinging bravely forward along the grand high road and already behind the distant mountains is the promise of the sun.
