Do you care if no one remembers you in one or two hundred years, or do you want to a lasting trace behind? If so, what and why?

Can't remember what its from (I think its from a movie or something), but I've always liked the idea that immortality is just always being remembered throughout human civilization.

I'd like to leave an impression. Even if its on the family tree, I'd want someone down my line to be able to say "You know, your great-great grandfather once punched Mao Zedong's corpse in the face." or something like that.

Leave nothing but foot prints.
Oh wait, perhaps that is a camping motto.

I've always liked Keats's epitaph: "Here lies one whose name was writ in water".

Didn't he say that because he believed he'd failed as a poet and wouldn't be remembered?

You aren't reading closely. He said "Smitshsonian".
It is the Smits family of Smitsville Ohio personal museum. The Tea Party exhibit is a continuous youtube loop of tea partiers bashing a democrat with their signs. Grandpa Smits was the videographer.
