Oh, but Aunt Polly, Aunt Polly, you haven't left me any time at all just to- to live.

Eleanor H. Porter

Oh, of course I'd be breathing all the time I was doing those things, Aunt Polly, but I wouldn't be living. You breathe all the time you're asleep, but you aren't living. I mean living — doing the things you want to do... Just breathing isn't living!
