| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Call of the Canyon by Zane Grey: Carley's eyes opened and beheld this man in an attitude of supremely

"You look like a sick kitten," he added. "When I get me a sweetheart or
wife I want her to be a wild cat."
His scorn and repudiation of her gave Carley intense relief. She sat up and
endeavored to collect her shattered nerves. Ruff gazed down at her with
great disapproval and even disappointment.

gruffly.
"I'm afraid--I did," faltered Carley. Her relief was a release; it was so
strange that it was gratefulness.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Statesman by Plato: STRANGER: And again, the peaceful and orderly nature, if sharing in these
opinions, becomes temperate and wise, as far as this may be in a State, but
if not, deservedly obtains the ignominious name of silliness.
YOUNG SOCRATES: Quite true.
STRANGER: Can we say that such a connexion as this will lastingly unite
the evil with one another or with the good, or that any science would
seriously think of using a bond of this kind to join such materials?
YOUNG SOCRATES: Impossible.
STRANGER: But in those who were originally of a noble nature, and who have
been nurtured in noble ways, and in those only, may we not say that union
is implanted by law, and that this is the medicine which art prescribes for

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare: other brings thee out.
