The Dead

I really liked the depth of the following lines from James Joyce's The Dead, "Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age." Even though this pertains to a love relationship, I believe it can also apply to any goal in life. Risks should be taken because outcomes that we set in motion are the the chapters of our life. We should do all with passion and actively form our lives.
