Louis Anthony Seiberlich, Jr. March 29, 1934- March 2, 1983 "Human beings do not live forever. We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity. A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant. A man must fill his life with meaning; meaning is not automatically given to life. It is hard work to fill one's life with meaning. A life filled with meaning is worthy of rest." Chaim Potok
