Lykken Hike Quotes & Sayings

Thou knowest all; I seek in vain
What lands to till or sow with seed -
The land is black with briar and weed,
Nor cares for falling tears or rain.
Thou knowest all; I sit and wait
With blinded eyes and hands that fail,
Till the last lifting of the veil
And the first opening of the gate.
Thou knowest all; I cannot see.
I trust I shall not live in vain,
I know that we shall meet again
In some divine eternity. — Oscar Wilde

The group must be open to death - which meant, of course, that it must be a community of warriors. — Yukio Mishima

It's not how much money you make that makes you rich, it's how you spend it. — Charles Jaffe
