To be free of belief and unbelief is my religion.

Drink! for you know not when you came, nor why; Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.

There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see.

In monasteries, seminaries, retreats and synagogues, they fear hell and seek paradise. Those who know the mysteries of God never let that seed be planted in their souls.

Oh, the brave Music of a distant drum!

If I don't enjoy myself now, when shall I?

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.
