"Life is a series of open horizons, with one no sooner completed than another looms ahead . . . More than physical features, they are horizons of mind and spirit, and when one looks backward, we find they have blended into the whole panorama of our lives . . . What a person finally becomes . . . is a composite of all the horizons she has explored, for they have marked her and left indelible imprints on her attitude and convictions and given her life direction and meaning . . . When there are no longer any beckoning mirages ahead, a person dies. With an open horizon constantly before him, life can be an eternal challenge."
