“I hide my distress, just like
the blessed birds hide themselves
when they are preparing to die. Wine! Wine, roses, music and your
indifference to my sadness, my loved-one!”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat De Omar Khayyam...

“When Allah created me, he knew that I
would drink a lot of wine. So if I didn't, the
omniscience of Allah would stand on its head.”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat De Omar Khayyam...

“Don't pursue happiness!
Life is as short as a sigh.
The dust of people that were once famous
turn with the reddish clay on the wheel you are
looking at. The universe is a fata morgana;
life is a dream.”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam: English, French And German Translations Comparatively Arranged V2

“Heaven has not learned of my arrival, and my departure will not in the least diminish it beauty and grandeur. I will sleep underground, for us ephemeral mortals, the only eternity is the moment and drinking to the moment is better than weeping for it.”
― Omar Khayyám
