"I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them"

Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray"

"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one"

George Harrison

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

—Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost
