"Whence I came, I know. Whither I go, I know not. I came forth from the womb of Experience.
What I know, that I am. What I know not, is the limitless measure of what I may become.
Life grows, and I see it. And so I grow, because I know it.
I will strike such a blow on the anvil of life as shall use to the utmost all I am.
Thus, though I know not whither I go nor what I shall be, I shall go to no home of idleness.
I shall be no grey ghost lamenting what I might have done, but did not"
—from The Log of Tros of Samothrace

I was lucky enough to have read this at 10 tears old and have since tried to live my life by these 'Y's words.
I often repeat it to myself.....
