Do you care if no one remembers you in one or two hundred years, or do you want to a lasting trace behind? If so, what and why?

Can't remember what its from (I think its from a movie or something), but I've always liked the idea that immortality is just always being remembered throughout human civilization.

That's just a rationalization.

I'd like to leave an impression. Even if its on the family tree, I'd want someone down my line to be able to say "You know, your great-great grandfather once punched Mao Zedong's corpse in the face." or something like that.

Leave nothing but foot prints.



Oh wait, perhaps that is a camping motto.

I've always liked Keats's epitaph: "Here lies one whose name was writ in water".

Didn't he say that because he believed he'd failed as a poet and wouldn't be remembered?

You aren't reading closely. He said "Smitshsonian".

It is the Smits family of Smitsville Ohio personal museum. The Tea Party exhibit is a continuous youtube loop of tea partiers bashing a democrat with their signs. Grandpa Smits was the videographer.
