“There is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.”
― William Shakespeare

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
― Kobayashi Issa, Poems

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
