“When you expand your ability to see, you understand that there are a lot of false choices being offered.”
“No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison: We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage: When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down, And ask of thee forgiveness: so we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too, Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out; And take upon's the mystery of things, As if we were God's spies: and we'll wear out, In a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones, That ebb and flow by the moon.”
— William Shakespeare“Daughter of Time, the hypocrite Days,Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes,And marching single in an endless file,Bring diadems and fagots in their hands;To each they offer gifts after his will,Bread, kingdom, stars, and sky that holds them all;I, in my pleached garden watched the pompForgot my morning wishes, hastilyTook a few herbs and apples, and the DayTurned and departed silent. I too lateUnder her solemn fillet saw the scorn.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
