Attar of Nishapur
“The home we seek is in eternity;
The Truth we seek is like a shoreless sea,
Of which your paradise is but a drop.
This ocean can be yours; why should you stop
Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?
The secrets of the sun are yours, but you
Content yourself with motes trapped in its beams.
Turn to what truly lives, reject what seems --
Which matters more, the body or the soul?
Be whole: desire and journey to the Whole.”
Attar of Nishapur

Albert Camus
“When I look at my life and its secret colours, I feel like bursting into tears.”
Albert Camus, A Happy Death

David   Gilmour
“Come on you target for faraway laughter. Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!”
Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here : Guitar Tab Edition [Songbook]

Pablo Neruda
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don’t know any other way of loving.”
Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Gabriel García Márquez
“Do not allow me to forget you”
Gabriel García Márquez, Of Love and Other Demons
