| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Anthem by Ayn Rand: They looked upon us, and their voice was low,
but there was bitterness and triumph in their voice.
"Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers
have neither hope nor fire. Your mouth
is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft
and humble. Your head is high, but our
brothers cringe. You walk, but our
brothers crawl. We wish to be damned with you,
rather than blessed with all our brothers.
Do as you please with us, but do not send
us away from you."

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs: it tried the strength of the lattice with its great talons.
The girl had almost ceased to breathe, when, to her relief,
the head disappeared and she heard the brute's footsteps leaving
the window. But now they came to the door again, and
once more the scratching commenced; this time with increasing
force until the great beast was tearing at the massive panels
in a perfect frenzy of eagerness to seize its defenseless victims.
Could Jane have known the immense strength of that door,
built piece by piece, she would have felt less fear of the
lioness reaching her by this avenue.
Little did John Clayton imagine when he fashioned that

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: warm jungles. In the distance was a great sea.
"The Lural Az," I said, pointing toward its blue-green
surface.
Somehow--the gods alone can explain it--Perry, too,
had clung to his rifle during his mad descent of the icy
slope. For that there was cause for great rejoicing.
Neither of us was worse for his experience, so after
shaking the snow from our clothing, we set off at a great
rate down toward the warmth and comfort of the forest
and the jungle.
The going was easy by comparison with the awful
Pellucidar |
