Om man ändå fick sova hela tiden. I sömnen glömmer man och slipper allt. I sömnen släcks alla frågor. Släcks allt... "Sova, sova - kanske också drömma." Nej, det spelar ingen roll med drömmarna - ge mig bara sömnen.







Mod är inte detsamma som frånvaro av rädsla utan styrkan att kunna känna rädsla och ändå kämpa vidare.



Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other’s heart for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
Some of them new pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged love’s bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in the moment they were swept before the deluge
Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky
Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky


Få människor kommer att ha förmågan att kröka historien själva, men var och en av oss kan jobba för att ändra en mindre mängd händelser. I den totala mängden så kommer historien över denna generation att skrivas.




Ensam jag skrider fram på min bana,
längre och längre sträcker sig vägen;
ack, uti fjärran döljes mitt mål.
Dagen sig sänker.
Nattlig blir rymden.
Snart blott de eviga stjärnor jag ser.
Men jag ej klagar flyende dagen,
ej mig förfärar stundande natten;
ty av den kärlek, som går genom världen,
föll ock en strimma in i min själ.

The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.
