The quote moves us from the mundane to the meaningful by “reminding” us to live and love while we can and leave behind the lesser things of our human nature. The author, Piet Hein, was a Danish mathematician, inventor, designer, writer and poet who joined the resistance after Germany’s occupation of Denmark during WWII. He used his pen as his most effective weapon against the Nazi’s. This quote is from 1954, but the plaque is dated between 1969 and 1973.
