Say "Bye bye, world!" with a difference

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!" Now, how's that for a great quote. I found while reading through http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.01/ultraman.html. Though the article seems to be somewhat humorous in its tenor, I found this line spot on when it comes to the attitude one might adopt to lift oneself out of stupor and / or ennui.

    Pretty, well-preserved? We (hindus) are set on fire, remember? So enjoy life by saying "You are gonna burn, so have fufn right now". Now hows that for a quote?:-)

    The author actually meant arriving at the grave (not getting into it!!) in a pretty well-preserved state :-)

    Quote - I'll consider it.
