Dante Alighieri
“Do not be afraid; our fate
Cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.”
Dante Alighieri, Inferno

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

فریدون مشیری
“پر كن پياله را
كاين آب آتشين
ديريست ره به حال خرابم نمي‌برد

اين جام‌ها كه در پي هم مي‌شوند
درياي آتش است كه ‌ريزم به كام خويش
گردآب مي‌ربايد و آبم نمي‌برد

من با سمند سركش و جادويي شراب
تا بيكران عالم پندار رفته‌ام
تا دشت پر ستاره‌ي انديشه‌هاي گرم
تا مرز ناشناخته‌ي مرگ و زندگي
تا كوچه باغ خاطره‌هاي گريز پا
تا شهر يادها
ديگر شراب هم جز تا كنار بستر خوابم نمي‌برد

هان اي عقاب عشق!
از اوج قله‌هاي مه آلود دوردست
پرواز كن به دشت غم‌انگيز عمر من
آنجا ببر مرا كه شرابم نمي برد
آن بي ستاره‌ام كه عقابم نمي برد

در راه زندگي
با اين همه تلاش و تمنا و تشنگي
با اينكه ناله مي‌كشم از دل كه :
آب ... آب ...
ديگر فريب هم به سرابم نمي برد

پر كن پياله را ”
فریدون مشیری

Herodotus
“Now if a man thus favoured died as he has lived, he will be just the one you are looking for: the only sort of person who deserves to be called happy. But mark this: until he is dead, keep the word "happy" in reserve. Till then, he is not happy, but only lucky...”
Herodotus

Plotinus
“I am striving to give back the Divine in myself to the Divine in the All.”
Plotinus
