Because it speaks to me...


"...Man has no harbor, time has no shore;
Le Gros Horloge, Rouen, France
It flows, and we pass! ..."
from the poem Le Lac by French poet Lamartine:
...
L’homme n’a point de port, le temps n’a point de rive ;
Il coule, et nous passons !...

"But meanwhile it flees: time flees irretrievably, while we wander around, prisoners of our love of detail."
from the poem Georgics written by Roman poet Virgil:
Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus, singula dum capti circumvectamur amore


"I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive." Joseph Campbell
