Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned."

Popper
Sir Karl Popper says- The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong.
It is difficult to practise popperian philosophy although it is so logical and independent.
Life could be so much easier and simpler if u can erase everything in ur mind when u find it is wrong. In that case we shall possibly be able to begin things from scratch.
This idea was used in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind". Amazing movie it was, the erasing was again not 100% successful leaving some ash behind which rose again.

Rome at a distance
Today I feel unusually calm and composed. From past few weeks things have been tipsy topsy and have been little sad and doing stupid things. You can not just keep doing the same things and feeling bad about it. You need to make changes.
A little courage and sense should prevail. Have a distant view in perspective and in a disciplined way keep moving in a direction. If you know you have to reach Rome, keep moving, eventually you are going to be there as they say all roads lead to rome.

The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.
