Quote from BattleStar Galactica that rings home:
I've played my role in this farce...
I've been there, done that, now what?
Is there another role that I have to play for the rest of my life?...
...Maybe tomorrow really isn't coming,
Maybe today is all we have left
And maybe... just maybe, I've earned the right to live a little before I die.
Now get out of my way.
