| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Anthem by Ayn Rand: joy for men, save the joy shared with all
their brothers. But the only things which
taught us joy were the power we created
in our wires, and the Golden One. And both
these joys belong to us alone, they come
from us alone, they bear no relation
to all our brothers, and they do not concern
our brothers in any way. Thus do we wonder.
There is some error, one frightful error,
in the thinking of men. What is that error?
We do not know, but the knowledge struggles
Anthem |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Richard III by William Shakespeare: Upon the like devotion as yourselves,
To gratulate the gentle Princes there.
QUEEN ELIZABETH. Kind sister, thanks; we'll enter
all together.
Enter BRAKENBURY
And in good time, here the lieutenant comes.
Master Lieutenant, pray you, by your leave,
How doth the Prince, and my young son of York?
BRAKENBURY. Right well, dear madam. By your patience,
I may not suffer you to visit them.
The King hath strictly charg'd the contrary.
Richard III |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Cousin Betty by Honore de Balzac: was helping Mariette to achieve this difficult result. Cousin Betty
was the idol of the hour. Mother and daughter kissed her hands, and
had told her with touching delight that the Marshal consented to have
her as his housekeeper.
"And from that, my dear, there is but one step to becoming his wife!"
said Adeline.
"In fact, he did not say no when Victorin mentioned it," added the
Countess.
The Baron was welcomed home with such charming proofs of affection, so
pathetically overflowing with love, that he was fain to conceal his
troubles.
