    “We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
    And the door stood open at our feast,
    When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
    And a man with his back to the East.”

    “It is only by not paying one’s bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.”
    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
