“How much more of the mosque, of prayer and fasting?
Better go drunk and begging round the taverns.
Khayyam, drink wine, for soon this clay of yours
Will make a cup, bowl, one day a jar.

When once you hear the roses are in bloom,
Then is the time, my love, to pour the wine;
Houris and palaces and Heaven and Hell-
These are but fairy-tales, forget them all.”
― Omar Khayyám

“I came like water, and like wind I go”
― Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst

“If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.”

“My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.”
