  1. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools — the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans — and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, “You can’t trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there’s nothing you can do about it, so let’s have a drink.”

    Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) English author
    Discworld No. 13, Small Gods (1992)

  6. Oh, to be two bunnies playing, pouncing, placating in the grass and mugwort, underneath a hombre cloud strewn sky with song birds regaling us with their chords.

  8. A quotation from The Epic of Gilgamesh

    Gilgamesh, where are you roaming?
    You will never find the eternal life
    that you seek. When the gods created mankind,
    they also created death, and they held back
    eternal life for themselves alone.
    Humans are born, they live, and then they die,
    this is the order that the gods have decreed.
    But until the end comes, enjoy your life,
    spend it in happiness, not despair.
    Savor your food, make each of your days
    a delight, bathe and anoint yourself,
    wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean,
    let music and dancing fill your house,
    love the child who holds you by the hand,
    and give your wife pleasure in your embrace.
    That is the best way for a man to live.

    Epic of Gilgamesh (c. 2100–1200 BC) Sumerian myth
    Tablet 10, col. 3 [Siduri] [tr. Mitchell (2004)]
