| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Caesar's Commentaries in Latin by Julius Caesar: ad praefectos, qui cum omni equitatu antecesserant, mittit qui nuntiarent
ne hostes proelio lacesserent, et si ipsi lacesserentur, sustinerent quoad
ipse cum exercitu propius accessisset.
At hostes, ubi primum nostros equites conspexerunt, quorum erat V
milium numerus, cum ipsi non amplius DCCC equites haberent, quod ii qui
frumentandi causa erant trans Mosam profecti nondum redierant, nihil
timentibus nostris, quod legati eorum paulo ante a Caesare discesserant
atque is dies indutiis erat ab his petitus, impetu facto celeriter nostros
perturbaverunt; rursus his resistentibus consuetudine sua ad pedes
desiluerunt subfossis equis compluribus nostris deiectis reliquos in fugam
coniecerunt atque ita perterritos egerunt ut non prius fuga desisterent

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Rinkitink In Oz by L. Frank Baum: to Regos to try to rescue his parents.
The little girl was much interested to know how well
Inga succeeded, but she returned to the palace of Ozma
at the Emerald City of Oz the next day and other events
made her forget the boy Prince of Pingaree for a time.
However, she was one day idly looking at Ozma's Magic
Picture, which shows any scene you may wish to see,
when the girl thought of Inga and commanded the Magic
Picture to show what the boy was doing at that moment.
It was the time when Inga and Rinkitink had followed
the King of Regos and Queen of Coregos to the Nome

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain: but he grabbed the little child all of a sudden and jumped
overboard with it hugged up to his breast and shedding tears,
and we never see him again in this life, poor old suffering soul,
nor Charles William neither.'
'WHO was shedding tears?' says Bob; 'was it Allbright or the baby?'
'Why, Allbright, of course; didn't I tell you the baby was dead.
Been dead three years--how could it cry?'
'Well, never mind how it could cry--how could it KEEP all that time?'
says Davy. 'You answer me that.'
'I don't know how it done it,' says Ed. 'It done it though--
that's all I know about it.'
