Growing and subsiding, filling and emptying, ending and beginning again, this is the cycle of the world. This is how we must understand the great duty that falls to everyone, and the universal order that governs all things -- Chuang Tzu

"... Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy prize to the falling gods of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes." (Bob Dylan, lyrics from "Dark Eyes")
