"Everyone must leave something behind
when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a
house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted.

die, and when people look at the tree or that flower you planted, you're
there. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change
something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like
you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who
just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn
cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there
a lifetime." ~Granger, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
