Fatihah

“Scholars really have nothing to teach you.
But from the soft touch of the eyelashes of
a woman you will know all there is to know about happiness.
Buy wine, take it to
a secluded place and let it comfort you.”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

“I dream with open eyes,' he answered, looking around at the door, 'and others see my dreams. That is all.”
― David Lindsay, A Voyage to Arcturus

“Poor soul, you will never know anything
of real importance. You will not uncover
even one of life's secrets. Although all religions
promise paradise, take care to create your own
paradise here and now on earth.”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

“How sad, a heart that
does not know how to love, that
does not know what it is to be drunk with love.
If you are not in love, how can you enjoy
the blinding light of the sun,
the soft light of the moon?”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
