I'm not interested in an imaginary world

I think there is no world without theatre.

Distressed valor challenges great respect, even from an enemy.

I don't want to die as long as I can work; the minute I can not, I want to go.

My calling, as one imperfect human, is to celebrate and uphold life every time I get the chance.
