Richard E. Byrd, of Virginia, famous for his expeditions to the Antarctica, in 1934 was alone and dying of carbon monoxide poisoning in an isolated weather station. He escaped, but thought he was dying and wrote these words in his diary:
“At the end only two things really matter to a man, regardless of who he is; and they are the affection and understanding of his family. Anything and everything else he creates are insubstantial; they are ships given over to the mercy of the winds and tides of prejudice. But the family is an everlasting anchorage a quiet harbor where a man's ships can be left to swing to the moorings of pride and loyalty.”
From: "Alone: The Classic Polar Adventure", by Richard E. Byrd, p. 179 (paperback)
