Nope. It's usually ascribed to J M Keynes, buy apparently it was actually one A. Gary Shilling: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/08/09/remain-solvent/

Eventually it will come down, yes. But you're the option seller, so you can be assigned anytime. I assume this is a naked call you sold (not covered). So you might be forced to buy shares at a really high price and deliver at $320. The big risk with selling options is early assignment.

Option sellers eat like birds and go to the bathroom like elephants.

I agree, I put in a market order to close the position last night and it filled at market open, so I am safely out.

No you'll just get assigned and lose $500k.

Just buy an lower priced call as a hedge to define your risk. If you get assigned you could land a pile of GME that goes to zero.
I think it was Ben Graham who said the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
