i'm reading Wired, and there's this wonderful article on some dude named Agassi. his charmed life has led him to try and save the planet from its inhabitants. he's started a company called Better Place, and it's apparently picking up quite a bit of steam.
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out,
shouting "Holy shit ... what a ride!"
