I want to live.

Middle-earth is a universe I know very well.

I have an enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet.

While living I want to live well.

Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes.

Lower your expectations of earth. This isn't heaven, so don't expect it to be.

I want to get to the moon. I want to go to Mars.

Try to leave the Earth a better place than when you arrived.
