When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
Omar KhayyamThe secret must be kept from all non-people. The mystery must be hidden from all idiots.
Omar KhayyamThere was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see.
Omar KhayyamOld Khayyรกm, say you, is a debauchee;If only you were half so good as he!He sins no sins but gentle drunkenness,Great-hearted mirth, and kind adultery.But yours the cold heart, and the murderous tongue,The wintry soul that hates to hear a song,The close-shut fist, the mean and measuring eye,And all the little poisoned ways of wrong.
Omar Khayyam
