'This place is a dream, only a sleeper considers it real.' ~ Rumi

'Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed.' ~ Marcus Aurelius

'We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands. The loom of time and space works the most astonishing transformations of matter. Our own planet is only a tiny part of the vast cosmic tapestry, a starry fabric of worlds yet untold. Those worlds in space are as countless as all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the earth. Each of those worlds is as real as ours.' ~ Carl Sagan
