“This world

for a brief spell

was ever solved.
We depart
with a thousand regrets
in our hearts.”
Omar Khayyám

Omar Khayyám

the blessed birds hide themselves
when they are preparing to die. Wine! Wine, roses, music and your
indifference to my sadness, my loved-one!”

Jeanette Winterson
“Books, for me, are a home. Books don’t make a home--they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and a different kind of space.”

“Let's get loose
With
Compassion,

Let's drown in the delicious
Ambience of
Love.”

“The heart is a
The thousand-stringed instrument

That can only be tuned with
Love.”
