― Anonymous Greek Proverb

“Hateful is the dark-blue sky,
Vaulted o'er the dark-blue sea.
Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?”
― Alfred Tennyson, The Lotos-Eaters and Choric Song

“Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a Negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.”
― ~ attributed to Anthony Bourdain

“But all the clocks in the city
Began to whirr and chime:
'O let not Time deceive you,
You cannot conquer Time”
― W.H. Auden
