The Waves • Virginia Woolf““The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon / Turns Ashes — or it prospers; and anon, / Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, / Lighting a little hour or two — is gone.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is.

Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl““Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” ”
