Here's a bottle and an honest friend
What wad ye wish for mair, man?
Wha kens, before his life may end,
What his share may be o' care, man?
Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man;
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes no ay when sought, man!
Robert Burns - A bottle and a friend

Death is a bend in the road,
To die is to slip out of view.
If I listen, I hear your steps
Existing as I exist.
The earth is made of heaven.
Error has no nest.
No one has ever been lost.
All is truth and way.

Doesn't everyone sell his soul? I tell you, sir: the devil does not exist, there is no devil, yet I sold him my soul. That is what I am afraid of. To whom did I sell it? That is what I am afraid of, my dear sir: we sell our souls, only there is no buyer.
