Quote on taking chances

‎I ran across this in my Google Reader this morning (I like well-said phrases):

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead."

-- Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

The sentiment sounds familiar ;).
