Urgency

Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
~ Ray Bradbury

Life cannot wait until the sciences may have explained the universe scientifically. We cannot put off living until we are ready. The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness: It is always urgent, here and now without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point-blank.

~ Jose Ortega Y Gasset
