And indeed there will be time [...] There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea. [...] Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. For I have known them all already, known them all: Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; I know the voices dying with a dying fall Beneath the music from a farther room.                So how should I presume? - T. S. Eliot

Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Kahlil Gibran ~ The Prophet

[jimbojame]

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.

And he said:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

- Kahlil Gibran, from The Prophet (1923)

The Second Coming (1919) - W. B. Yeats

The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

“At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this? / And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?”
