VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: A quote I like, though quite long

"I have studied many times the marble which was chiseled for me. A boat
with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my
destination, but my life. For love was offered me and I shrank from its
disillusionment, sorrow knocked on my door, but I was afraid, ambition
called to me, but I dreaded the chances, yet all the while I hungered for
meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail and catch
the winds of destiny wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one's
life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of
restlessness and vague desire. It is a boat longing for the sea and yet
afraid." -- Edgar Lee Masters
