From the prologue to William Saroyan's "The Time of Your Life," published by Samuel French.

Contributed and read by Sandy Harper, the Producing Artistic Director of Cyrano's Theatre Company. "Cyrano's Theatre Company will be producing William Saroyan's "The Time of Your Life" through June 8." Active in the Anchorage arts community, Sandy is the past president of the Anchorage Cultural Council and one of the founding members of the Alaska Center for the Book.

In the prologue to "The Time of Your Life," William Saroyan writes:

"In the time of your life, live -- so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding-place and let it be free and unashamed. ... Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. ... Remember that every man is a variation of yourself. No man's guilt is not yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart. ... Have no shame in being kindly and gentle, but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret. In the time of your life, live -- so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it."
