Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. I look at the pictures here, and think:
"Even knowing how risky, dangerous, and how much hard work is involved with going into space, even just to the ISS, would I take that risk, all to see the Earth from that angle? To float outside a ship, in a frail suit, a separate body, moving through the universe under rules that have existed for billions of years? To be able to see the universe without the derangement of the atmosphere?
In a hearbeat. It is still my best, longest-lived, most favorite dream, and I would risk so very much to make it come true."

If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar characters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
