"One might dwell within the cave and gaze upon shadows, provided only that once in his lifetime he could break his chains, and feel his wings, and behold the sun; provided that once in his lifetime he might testify to the fact that life, with all its cares and terrors, is no such great thing, but merely a bubble upon the surface of a river ... a thing that one may quaff, like a goblet of rare red wine. Thus having known himself for the master of things, a man could go back to his toil and live upon the memory all his days." - Upton Sinclair, "The Jungle" Happy Labor Day, people! Break your chains and behold the sun!
