"O
you will take whatever’s offered And dream that all the world’s a friend, Suffer as your mother suffered, Be as broken in the end."
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), Irish Poet & Playwright
"God made the world round so
we would never
be able to see too far down the
road."

"I've looked at life from both sides now
from
win and lose and still somehow
it's
life's illusions I recall.
I really
don't know life at all."

Would you stay, if she promised you heaven?
Dreams Unwind,
Lose my mind.
Love never again to find,
Life's unkind.
"When you knew that it was over You were suddenly
aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the color of his hair.
Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel
within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you
find In the windmills of your mind.
Lovers walk along a shore, And leave their
footprints in the sand.
The fragment of a song - Half-remembered names
and faces But to whom do they belong?
Why did life go so quickly? Was it something
that I said?
As the images unwind Like the circles that
you find In the windmills of your mind."
Legrand & Bergman
I would rather be ashes than dust....
I would rather that my spark should burn in a brilliant
blaze
than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of
me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
