The sea refuses no river
Remember that when the beggar buys a round

The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results.

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.

And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.


- Bob Dylan

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

- Plato

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

And what strength I have's my own,

I must be here confined to you
Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got,
And pardoned the deceiver, dwell

Make me up a bed of roses
And hang them down from the vine
Of all my loves you've been the closest
That's ever been on my mind.

Please don't talk about tomorrow
I'm really not one to care
This world is filled with too much sorrow
That nobody's heart should bear.

'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
