How would I go about looking up this quotes author? Google is all I know. I
tryed there and didn't get very far. Thanks!

I've seen this tons of places and have never seen it quoted from anyone
other than anonymous.

After seeing Mary B's post, it did occur to me the quote at issue is
similar to what James Dean (I think) once was quoted as saying:

"Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse."

There was a rock-a-billy song in the late 50's (I think) and the lyrics of
the chorus were
"I'm gonna live fast, love free, die young
And leave a beautiful memory."

(I think those are the words.)
