What is it that confers the noblest delight? What is that which swells a man's breast with pride above that which any other experience can bring to him? Discovery! To know that you are walking where none others have walked; that you are beholding what human eye has not see before; that you are breathing a virgin atmosphere. To give birth to an idea-an intellectual nugget, right under the dust of a field that many a brain-plow had gone over before. To be the first-that is the idea. To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else-these are the things that confer a pleasure compared with other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other ecstasies cheap and trivial. Lifetimes of ecstasy crowded into a single moment. --Twain.

Humbly report, Jeff, once again regarding "do it because you want to," just found this by Twain, though you'd like it:

Do right for your own sake and be happy in knowing that your neighbor will certainly share in the benefits resulting.
From What Is Man? (1906)

Benefits. Hmmm. That reminds me . . .
